The 77 Percent — The Magazine for Africa's Youth

March 19, 2025

This week’s show takes a look at music as the soul and beat of Africa. We ask whether Africans should create their own music awards. We meet a drum maker and a percussionist in Benin. We delve into the Afrobeats vs Amapiano rivalry at the Afro Nation festival. In Congo, Brazzaville, a rapper proves that you don’t need words to be heard. And in Rwanda we meet inclusive breakdancers.

77 percent of Africans are younger than 35. But they are also the least represented demographic. It's time their voices are heard as they shape the future of Africa. We bring you hard-hitting reports, personal stories and lively discussion direct from the continent about the issues that matter most.
