After we posted our program Afropop Live 2017, people began asking for a playlist, so they could support and hear more from these artists. It's a great idea! Here, in order of appearance, are the artists, the songs they played and, when available, the album that the song may have appeared on.
Support these artists and check them out if they come to your town.
