artists. Exploring the role of indigenous African popular music in
environmental health communication and gender empowerment, it
subsequently focuses on how the music portrays the African future,
its use by African youths, and how it is affected by advanced

indigenous African popular music reveals an untapped diversity
which can only be unraveled by the knowledge of myriad cultural
backgrounds from which its genres originate. With a particular
focus on scholarship from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa, this
volume explores how, during the colonial period and

their artists were mainstreamed in order to tackle emerging issues,
to sensitise Africans about the affairs of their respective nations

citizenry about the plight of the people. At the same time,
indigenous African popular music genres have served as a beacon to
the teeming African youths to express their dreams, frustrations
about their environments and to represent themselves. This volume
explores how, through the advent of new media technologies,
indigenous African popular musicians have been working relentlessly
for indigenous production, becoming champions of good governance,
marginalised population, and repositories of indigenous cultural
traditions and cosmologies.
