Afrobeat is your welcome into this week’s playlist, fittingly kicked off by the legendary Fela Kuti’s Zombie, from our Album of the Week by the same name. The Afro-inspired vibes aren’t going anywhere as we move through the playlist, until a jazzy bridge takes us into some rock – but not without retaining elements of jazz, soul and reggae. A more traditional jazz passages begins to see out this week’s playlist, finished off nicely with one of Sam Fender’s best. New music comes from Oscar Jerome, Obongjayar, Nubiyan Twist X Horseman, Wet Leg, and Djo. Save, share and listen on Spotify.
