Every year, Poptech features artistes with a global flavor, for instance, this year’s conference will include performances by the Sinkithemba choir from South Africa. I have no doubt many attendees will leave inspired by the performances and will perhaps want to learn more about African music.

I highly recommend three websites that will introduce you to the best of African music…from traditional to contemporary. Not only will you find fantastic audio clips, but you will also get the stories behind the music and in the process learn more about Africa and its enormous diversity.
Benn loxo du taccu is THE African music audio blog, Afropop is THE African music website (check out their podcasts) and Obi’s coverage of African music for Global Voices is simply an auditory delight.

Happy listening.
