From Drums to the World

How has African culture survived displacement, adapted to modernity, and reasserted itself on the global stage? This episode explores the historical depth of African cultural expression and traces its journey from ancestral rhythms to the global rise of Afrobeats. By examining culture as memory, resistance, and soft power, the discussion reveals how music and identity continue to shape Africa’s presence in the world. Afrobeats goes beyond being a genre, it is the latest chapter in a long history of cultural continuity and global influence.
