About African Music Forum
From 12/2012 to 4/2/2019, there was a medium community of African Music Lovers on Google+…
At its peak, the community had 650+ members, and 100+ of them posting content, mainly music videos. This allowed us to explore new music genres, music memories and countries, as well as exchange through comments and shares…
Now Google+ is closed and so is the community.
Life after Google+
As the main founder and moderator of the African Music Forum community, I wanted this incredible content, published for 7 years, to survive and grow…
That’s the reason why this blog exists: to continue the previous mission in helping you (re)discover music from the African continent.
