Song of the Week "Tomorrow" is by Ghanaian rapper/producer and entrepreneur M.Anifest. Kwame Ofori and I interviewed the artist in Accra . Then we go to Nairobi, Kenya where reporter Bill Odidi introduces a new album called Sounds of Sasaab, a high-energy fusion of traditional singers and electronic music. We also get a nice vintage jam of traditional Ibo music from Nigeria that comes from the MTIA Archives.

Finally, VOA's Upfront and Red Carpet host Jackson Mvunganyi joins me for a conversation about the recent rise in African American tourism to Africa and, more specifically, in musical celebrities obtaining citizenship in African countries.
