Welcome

This site is devoted to the wonderful and highly danceable music from Africa like soukous, ndombolo, afro zouk, makossa, mbaqanga, zouglou, coupé-décalé and others. It presents well known and lesser-known artists from many Sub-Sahara countries. When listening to the music you can click on the links to find out background information, articles, lyrics, interviews and places where to buy the CDs. You are also given the possibilty to rate the song.
With the jukebox, you can compile your own playlist. On the album page you can select from a number of pre-compiled playlists.
I will continue updating this site with new songs, so do come back again.
This site is optimized for 1024*768 screen size.
Please, don't forget to sign my guestbook.
Enjoy!
