Silicon Africa: A Playlist of Africa’s Electronic Music Innovators

This month, OkayAfrica will focus on technology’s impact on young Africans.

As the continent gains access to fast internet at accelerating rates, we’ll be looking at how Africans are using it to transform their lives—from tech entrepreneurs and inventors to the people and places making the continent a place for innovation and expression.

This Silicon Africa playlist showcases how technological innovation has influenced artists across the continent and their song craft. It features modern, electronic and, at times, experimental tracks from the likes of Spoek Mathambo, Baloji, Okzharp & Manthe Ribane, Just A Band, Petite Noir and more.

Brooklyn-based, Nigerian multi-instrumentalist Eli Fola created a sound he calls ‘Tech Afrique’out of his love for house and techno music. Dive into Fola’s colorful world with “Wonders.”
