The pan-Africanist ideal never died—it morphed into hybridised sonic fragments that connect Joburg to Nairobi via Lagos and Accra. One of the latest testaments to the continent’s far-reaching musical ingenuity is “Joanna” from Nigerian footballer turned music star 17 (still perhaps better known by his government name Alex Iwobi, at least for now). “Joanna”, which appears on 17’s More to Life EP, also features Ogun State-hailing Afrobeats singer Fido. Listen to it on Africa Now alongside everything else hot and new with roots in the continent, and hype up your library by adding anything that vibrates in lockstep with your beat.
