African artistes have been making waves on the Billboard chart in recent times. Many of these music stars of African descent are becoming more and more widely recognized worldwide, with the new generation of musicians truly breaking through barriers.
The summer breaks are a time of great musical abundance, and even though it is coming to an end, some of the biggest names in African music continue to produce high-profile records suitable for the season.
Artistes like Ayra Starr, Asake, and Rema keep pushing the limits, soliciting the help of a wide range of foreign colleagues to extend their musical horizons, and wholeheartedly accepting their position as trailblazers in the industry.
Billboard has therefore selected ten recently released, highly recommended tracks by African stars that can be added to your playlist.
