Afro-Pop
Afro-Pop is a catch-all term encompassing the rich variety of contemporary African music styles -- typically urban, electric dance music. As each of Africa's 54 countries lays claim to dozens of distinct languages and musical traditions, Afro-Pop is a blanket description of the continent's many diverse styles, from Algerian rai to Senegalese mbalax to East African taarab.
