It’s that time of the year to look back and see what great music was made the past 12 months.
This year the very best albums have no order as Radio Mukambo doesn’t want to be part of a competition where you have to be the best. Being in there means you made a damn good Afro-Groove album!
It goes from contemporary highlife to Latin afrobeat, from maloya over makossa to mandingo, from the Pacific to the Caribbean, from cumbia to Brazilian hiphop and from Turkish to African psych-rock.
