This month’s playlist is a soulful sonic road trip—rolling through East African rhythms, global grooves, dusty soul, lush jazz, Afrofusion, and bass-heavy joyrides. From the golden horns of Muluken Melesse and the nostalgic warmth of Sharon Jones, to the genre-bending edges of Asake & Tiakola, this is a perfectly curated blend for long drives, late-night edits, quiet reflection or full-body movement.

🌍 Featuring artists from Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, France, the U.S., and beyond. Each track is a postcard from somewhere vibrant, somewhere heartfelt, somewhere free.

🎶 Highlights:

Muluken Melesse’s “Kemekem” kicks it off like vintage sunshine.

Arlo Parks’ “Eugene” floats in raw and intimate.

Fat Freddy’s Drop keeps it cool with “Wandering Eye.”

SuperJazzClub, Jembaa Groove, and Leon Bridges bring the bounce.
