The Rhythm Archive
The Rhythm Archive is a series dedicated to uncovering the depth and diversity of African music beyond today’s global trends. Each volume takes a closer look at genres that have shaped the continent’s sound — tracing their histories, celebrating their cultural impact, and exploring their influence on the world. Alongside every story is a curated playlist, offering listeners a gateway into the rhythms that continue to move Africa and the diaspora.
