Listen to Africa Day playlist by Ethiopian Records

The Africa Day Motivation Mix features artists such as Fela Kuti (Nigeria), Alemayehu Eshete (Ethiopia), Hugh Masakela (South Africa), Muthoni Drummer Queen, Daudi Kabaka (Kenya) and Bob Marley (Jamaica), among others.

It also features monologues on African unity by Thomas Sankara and Kwame Nkrumah.

"It is a reminder that we are a powerful, mighty continent, and we are more mighty and powerful together," Ethiopian Records told Music In Africa. "Africa Day is not a day that belongs to its leadership and elites; it is a day when wirking-class Africans get to connect and imagine a future that is theirs.

"We must come together to assert ourselves, our independence and our freedom from a world that has always tried to subjugate and patronise us. We are unconquerable, independent and we are and always have been an independent people who decide our own goals and values – a people that make our own path, on our terms, and always will be! The future is now, so let us thrust the world forth into a better place.”
