Please! It would be of great interest. (The reason for the interest is at once trivial and profound – African music saved my life. My heart is there now although I’ve never been there myself.)
Also, Africa is overly associated with naturalistic things like wild animals, food, music, etc., like an uncivilized other place. Here, finally is an article on technology startups in Africa - fantastic - and where does the conversation shift, what does someone know about Africa ...?
This is all from before the early ‘80s. One aspect: It’s absolutely wild to compare the ‘70s in Kenya musically – live music – to electronic music today. I find it easy to trace the, uh, inspiration? from the music of colonized people to US/European electronic music and into the mainstream.

I realized while writing this, that it could be a substack series about the domino effect of innovation globally, but I can only write so much in a comment section
