On Wednesday, NPR released the latest episode of the Tiny Desk (Home) Concert Series. This time around was a special occasion, as a celebration of the new Def Jam Africa compilation Rhythms of Zamunda: Music Inspired by Coming 2 America. For the Tiny Desk concert, six artists from four different countries performed their work from the project. View the full performance, and check out the full Rhythms of Zamunda tracklist below.
Nasty C of South Africa teams up with Ari Lennox for “Black and White,” then Locko of Cameroon performs “Magnet.” Rising South African R&B star Ricky Tyler follows up with “Everything,” before Nigerian artist Alpha P blesses the audience with his single “Jiggy Bop.” The setlist closes out with South African DJ/producer Prince Kaybee and Msaki’s “Fetch Your Life” and Togolese duo Toofan’s “Yé Mama.”
