Slikour: Africa Month

Slikour: Africa Month

To celebrate the many wonderful aspects of the continent, we asked a group of visionary musicians and creative minds to define what Africa means to them. “Africa is home for the resilient,” South African musician, media personality, entrepreneur and Skwatta Kamp alum Siyabonga 'Slikour' Metane tells Apple Music. “With minimal resources and an underdeveloped music industry over the years, South African youth have created kwaito, gqom, amapiano, Afro-pop, bacardi, a version of hip-hop through Motswako, and African trap music. Our resilience has been through our music, and as we become part of the metaverse, it's also time for us to take this passion of creating into ownership. When the world takes our creation as inspiration, and integrates it into their content or platforms, remember, that creation was the cause of the resilience of some ghetto kids somewhere in South Africa. The sounds I've curated are an example of all these ghetto kids from the early ’90s to date.”
