In the early days of African Perspectives, there weren’t many labels sharing African music to wider audiences. The Africa Fête series was one of the few platforms that shared music from Africa to the rest of the world. Today, we share the history of the Africa Fête series, and give updates on the 29th SEMAU Conference.
