20 African Love Songs To Listen To This Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Since we’ve done one for Nigeria, it’s only fair to piece together another post with love songs from across Africa. Here’s a selection of some of my favorite love songs outta Africa in the last couple of years. Considering all the beautiful content coming out of the different regions, you can imagine how tedious this has been for me.

  • Central Africa (Cameroon, Congo)
  • East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania)
  • Southern Africa (S. Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Angola).

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
