2019: Smithsonian Year of Music

Girl in a jacket

Here at the National Museum of African Art we will be celebrating our musical resources across history, art, culture and education.

You can find all of this year’s #SmithsonianMusic events and online offerings at music.si.edu

Listen here to the sounds of a continent rich with creativity, power, and enchantment. Radio Africa offers hours of tracks including field recordings from remote villages, voices of political protest, and songs from emerging Afro-pop artists and is a collaboration between Smithsonian Folkways and the National Museum of African Art.
