It is no secret that jazz music has grown to be a big part of the African music culture. Nowadays you can’t talk about African music without mentioning jazz music and the artists that keep it alive.

Amongst those jazz artists, there exists a a very important element of African Jazz music – the African jazz female artists.  The women who keep it alive and celebrate it with all their might.  Unfortunately, they don’t get their much deserved recognition. In celebration of  all the female jazz artists who are doing it from they heart,  including the late Mama Miriam Makeba, please join me in this musical jazzy- journey of intoxication by four of Africa’s most talented and well-loved female jazz artists. Don’t forget to share your views.

From English-Nigerian legend, Sade, to South Africa’s trailblazing young jazz artist Ms. Zamajobe, to one of my personal favorite artists who is currently promoting her new album titled “If  The Rains Come First“, Ms. Somi, and finally, one of my newly found Angolan black pearls Ms. Perola.
