I think that's the same fallacy that the GP warned about: there is no 'African' music. There's different music and different concepts of music from different places (and I actually know and have seen a bunch, especially from west Africa). It's like saying 'Americas music', covering everything from North and South America, the Carribean, etc.

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 ...?
