The pan-Africanist ideal never died—it morphed into hybridised sonic fragments that connect Joburg to Nairobi via Lagos and Accra. One of our favourite torchbearers of the continent’s far-reaching musical ingenuity is DJ Tunez, the DJ and producer signed to Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment. For his Africa Now mix, Tunez wanted to highlight friends and artists he’s worked with. “This mix has some of my current favourite tracks from home as well as my most recent collaborations with Wiz, FOLA, Libianca, Wande Coal, Tomi Tribe and Gimba,” he tells Apple Music. “I have records or have worked with a majority of these artists, so I’m always excited to create mixes with all of our music.” Hear DJ Tunez’s vision of Africa Now and check back each month for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
