Coke Studio Africa’s quest to inspire fresh new sounds from the Continent gives these artists wider exposure, while enabling greater interaction, collaboration and cooperation that speaks to a wider audience of music enthusiasts across genres, styles and eras. All the music was performed and recorded live alongside Coke Studio’s highly talented house band.
