Bridging the divide between North Africa and the rest of the continent

DJ Edu’s meets a Moroccan musician on a mission to bridge the divide between North Africa and the rest of the continent.

Don’t talk about Sub-Saharan Africa to Ahmed Soultan. This Moroccan musician is on a mission to bridge the divide between North Africa and the rest of the continent, and he gets tetchy about terminology he sees as divisive. In this week’s programme he sets DJ Edu straight on Berbers and the state of Afrobeats. 
 
Also in the programme, Princess Abumere from BBC Lagos presents her spotlight pick: Fireboy DML from Nigeria, whose song Jealous has to be one of the most beautiful bangers of the moment.
