Amplifying Africa’s top-tier soundscapes while nurturing a creative music community through guardianship, skills development, and storytelling 🎙️

Ghana’s rap king, Sarkodie, has once again raise Ghana’s rap king, Sarkodie, has once again raised the bar for live music performances on the continent. Over the weekend, his Rapperholic Homecoming concert turned Kumasi into the heartbeat of African hip-hop, drawing an estimated 40,000 fans to witness the landmark event.

The sold-out show—staged in the Ashanti Region’s capital—was more than a homecoming. It was a cultural celebration that reaffirmed @sarkodie unrivaled influence in Ghana’s music scene and his growing global footprint. From die-hard day-one fans to a new generation of rap lovers, the crowd reflected his cross-generational appeal.

Sarkodie stormed the stage with back-to-back classics, weaving in newer hits that had the audience rapping every lyric in unison. The energy was electric, the atmosphere reverent—cementing the night as one of the biggest live music gatherings in recent Ghanaian history.

Industry observers have hailed the Kumasi show as a watershed moment for Ghanaian live music, spotlighting not just Sarkodie’s consistency and star power, but also the potential of Kumasi as a cultural hub capable of hosting mega concerts on a global scale.

From his Rapperholic legacy in Accra to this unprecedented Kumasi takeover, Sarkodie continues to prove that his reign is far from over—solidifying his status as Africa’s rap heavyweight and a custodian of Ghanaian music excellence.

With @temsbaby , Hennessy Unveils Made For More 20 With @temsbaby , Hennessy Unveils Made For More 2025: A Bold Celebration of Global Culture, Creativity, and Craft

@hennessy has launched its 2025 “Made For More” campaign, returning to the continent with renewed celebration of African creativity, community, and cultural expression. 

The campaign names Tems as the Global Brand Ambassador, placing her at the creative center of three immersive “club” environments (Games, Art, and Jam). The announcement comes alongside performances and appearances by creatives such as INNOSS’B, Kabza De Small, and Maglera Doe Boy, who join the Maison in spotlighting the voices shaping Africa’s cultural future 🌺

In the campaign’s narrative, Tems is not just face or spokesperson — she becomes a connective thread across the three club worlds: Hennessy Games Club, Hennessy Art Club, and Hennessy Jam Club. 

Each space is designed to evoke facets of African communal life: from the strategic, playful vernacular of local games to expressive art installations, and finally the raw energy of musical performance. 

The campaign blends style, music, and storytelling, reinforcing that creative spaces are as central to cultural identity as the art itself. 

For Music Custodian and the African music community at large, this campaign offers several lessons. 
First, authenticity in brand collaborations matters: working with artists like Tems who straddle local roots and global influence gives cultural projects legitimacy. 
Second, storytelling must inhabit spaces, not just ads — putting intentional design behind how creative subcultures live and breathe. 

And third: campaigns that merge music, art, and identity can catalyze momentum beyond a moment — they become reference points for how Africa’s cultural future is packaged, seen, and shared.

Bad Bunny @badbunnypr is set to make history as th Bad Bunny @badbunnypr is set to make history as the headlining act for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation jointly announced the choice during Sunday Night Football. 

As a three-time Grammy winner and global streaming icon, Bunny dedicates this moment to his roots, declaring, “this is for my people, my culture, and our history.”

This performance will mark his first solo Super Bowl headlining—he appeared previously in 2020 during Shakira’s set, but not as the main act.

Significantly, he becomes the first male Latin artist ever to headline the show, reinforcing a narrative of inclusion and cultural reclamation on one of entertainment’s biggest stages. 

The production will be managed by DPS, with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins as executive producers, under the artistic direction of Hamish Hamilton. 

Beyond the spectacle, this moment carries weight: Bad Bunny has signaled political boldness in past commentary, and critics aligned with far-right factions have already voiced backlash about his selection.

But for fans and cultural watchers, this is a watershed — a statement that Latin music, Spanish language, and diasporic identity belong centerstage, even in the heart of NFL pageantry.

🎶 Today On Culture & Legacy, Little Richard Was 🎶 Today On Culture & Legacy, Little Richard Was The Spark That Lit the Fire 🔥

When Little Richard speaks of Tutti Frutti — the song he wrote and performed, yet watched Elvis Presley and Pat Boone outsell him with their covers — his words don’t come laced with bitterness. 

Instead, they carry grace. “They opened a door that was locked, and I couldn’t get in,” he says. And once that door was cracked open, he pulled a generation with him.

Mick Jagger, once living on a truck. Jimi Hendrix, shredding guitar in his band. Billy Preston on the organ. James Brown and Joe Tex lending their voices. From a poor boy in Georgia to the architect of rock and roll, Little Richard was a pioneer — he was the wellspring. 

He reminds us why he never shied away from the title King of Rock and Roll: because the kings and legends we revere today once passed through his orbit, shaped by his spark.

This is nostalgia and it’s a reminder of lineage. Black artistry has often been imitated, repackaged, and commercialized, yet its originators stood tall, transforming setbacks into stepping stones. Little Richard’s story is one of resilience, vision, and boundless influence — a blueprint for every African and diaspora artist striving to claim their rightful place in history.

His live shows were a genre unto themselves: flamboyant, electric, and boundary-breaking. Climbing atop his piano, trading sequins for over-the-top style, he performed music and liberation. In doing so, he defied segregation, drew interracial crowds, and created music that demanded attention and participation. 

Decades later, artists and creators like Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Prince, Bruno Mars, and Lil Nas X all point to him as the origin of their spark 🎆

Little Richard’s legacy is more than legend—it’s a map. He teaches artists today how to turn erasure into influence, rejection into opportunity, and performance into transcendent power. 

He reminds us that innovation often comes wrapped in struggle, and that the true kings and queens are those who create the path for others to walk.

Incase You Missed This 📰 Hollywood actor/rappe Incase You Missed This 📰

Hollywood actor/rapper/creative Jaden Smith is stepping into the luxury fashion arena in a serious way. In September 2025, Christian Louboutin—famous for its signature red-soled shoes—officially appointed @c.syresmith as the brand’s first ever Men’s Creative Director.

At 27, he will relocate to Paris and oversee design, campaigns, immersive experiences, and four annual collections spanning men’s shoes, leather goods, and accessories.

Though Jaden is American, his appointment resonates with African artists/creatives because it’s part of a broader shift—people from music, film, streetwear, art stepping into leadership roles in fashion. 

It suggests that visibility, authenticity, and creative storytelling can translate to leadership in luxury. It also offers a potential bridge: how creators of African origin can influence or lead global brands, and the possibilities for cross-cultural collaborations.

This role places Jaden among a select group of creatives who have bridged entertainment, fashion, culture and influence. For fans, this shift deepens the narrative of artists not just being muses or collaborators, but active creative leads in luxury houses. It underscores how deeply fashion and celebrity identity are now interwoven in global style culture.

Monday Motivation ✨ “Believing in Yourself is Monday Motivation ✨

“Believing in Yourself is The Creative Currency That Builds Futures”

This week, our Monday Motivation comes from Wiz Khalifa — a voice that has navigated the highs, lows, and reinventions of global music culture. His reminder is simple but profound: believe in yourself.

For music creatives across Africa and the diaspora, this message carries weight. Confidence isn’t arrogance — it’s the foundation of every beat you compose, every lyric you pen, every stage you step onto. Wiz challenges us to embrace vision, even when others call it delusion. Many of the world’s greatest sounds, movements, and revolutions began as impossible ideas in someone’s mind.

But belief alone isn’t enough. As Wiz stresses, consistency is the engine. It is showing up in the studio when inspiration feels absent, pushing through the edits, rehearsals, and rejections until what once lived only in your imagination becomes undeniable reality.

At Music Custodian, we echo this charge to our community: carry your ideas with conviction, guard your creative flame, and move with discipline. This is how Africa’s stories continue to reshape global culture — through self-belief, relentless effort, and the audacity to create.

So as we step into this week, let’s remember: what feels like delusion today can become legacy tomorrow.

Few voices carry as much weight, resonance, and tr Few voices carry as much weight, resonance, and truth in African music as that of Oumou Sangaré, Mali’s legendary songbird. 

Since the release of her groundbreaking debut album Moussoulou in 1989, Sangaré has stood as a cultural beacon, weaving together the traditional sounds of Wassoulou music with contemporary influences. Her artistry is more than music or what they say, it really is activism, storytelling, and a clarion call for African women. 

Through her songs, Sangaré has fearlessly addressed issues such as polygamy, women’s rights, poverty, and social justice, cementing her place as both an artist and an advocate for change.

Beyond her lyrical depth, @oumou.sang embodies the dynamism of African artistry. She has collaborated with international heavyweights, from Alicia Keys to Herbie Hancock, while maintaining a deep connection to her Malian roots. 

Her voice—powerful, earthy, and commanding—remains instantly recognizable, carrying the ancestral echoes of Wassoulou traditions into global spaces. Sangaré’s music doesn’t just entertain; it educates and empowers, making her an emblem of Pan-African pride and resilience.

Her contributions extend beyond the stage. Oumou is also a savvy entrepreneur, investing in initiatives that uplift her community, from agriculture to hospitality. These ventures reinforce her belief that music and culture are inseparable from social and economic progress. 

By leveraging her global recognition, she continues to demonstrate that African artists can thrive not just as performers but also as leaders and innovators shaping the continent’s future.

As we spotlight Oumou Sangaré, we honor not only her artistry but also her unwavering courage to use music as a tool for truth, freedom, and empowerment. 

She stands as a reminder that African music is a living archive of stories, struggles, and triumphs—one that deserves to be celebrated and preserved for generations to come.

Johannesburg was on fire last weekend as two Fugee Johannesburg was on fire last weekend as two Fugees legends— @mslaurynhill and @wyclefjean —lit up the stage at the DSTV Delicious Festival 2025, delivering a performance that was equal parts nostalgia, soul, and timeless artistry.

The festival, already famed as one of South Africa’s premier food-and-music cultural showcases, became the epicenter of a rare reunion moment when Lauryn and Wyclef took fans on a sonic journey through classic hits like Killing Me Softly, Ready or Not, and Fu-Gee-La. 

Their chemistry was undeniable, reminding audiences of the magic that made the Fugees one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all time.

Beyond the music, the atmosphere was electrifying—a melting pot of food, fashion, and rhythm, celebrating African and global culture under the spring skies of Johannesburg. Attendees described the night as “a spiritual awakening with a soundtrack,” while social media lit up with praise for the festival’s unforgettable lineup.

Festival organizers highlighted the significance of such performances, positioning DSTV Delicious as not just an annual event, but a living cultural archive that connects generations through shared experiences of sound, taste, and togetherness.

As Lauryn Hill’s powerful voice soared across the venue and Wyclef’s energy drove the crowd into frenzy, it was clear: this wasn’t just a show, it was history being retold.

The night wasn’t just about nostalgia — it was about cultural bridges, fashion statements (with Hill donning Thebe Magugu), and amplifying local icons like Lira, Zoë Modiga, Mandisi Dyantyis, and Joyous Celebration Rewind.

This was more than a concert. It was a reminder of how music, food, and heritage converge to create timeless experiences in Africa.

💡 For Music Custodian, it affirms why Africa’s stages remain the heartbeat of global culture.

Tems is in Nairobi. The city is ready. ✨🇰🇪 Tems is in Nairobi. The city is ready. ✨🇰🇪

Grammy-winner Tems has arrived in Nairobi ahead of her headline slot at Blankets & Wine on Sunday, September 28. The festival — known for its picnic-style atmosphere and curated blend of music, fashion and food — has stacked the deck for a day of close-up performance and cultural exchange.

In 1982, the ever-boundary-breaking Grace Jones de In 1982, the ever-boundary-breaking Grace Jones delivered one of her most unforgettable performances on Chile’s Vamos a Ver show, broadcast on Televisión Nacional de Chile. Draped in Giorgio Armani, she performed the full version of “La Vie En Rose” — with an instrumental intro lasting over two minutes — a moment of pure stagecraft that blurred the lines between fashion, art, and music.

This resurfaced clip is more than nostalgia. It is a reminder of Jones’ unmatched ability to bend time, captivate audiences, and embody the avant-garde spirit of Black excellence on global stages.

Grace Jones wasn’t just performing a song — she was staging a cultural event. Her presence, her defiance of convention, and her fearless artistry made her a symbol of liberation and timeless style in the early ‘80s — a legacy that continues to inspire new generations of artists today.

At Music Custodian, moments like this reaffirm why we elevate Black culture: because these performances are cultural artifacts, reminding us how artistry from our icons shaped the global creative landscape.

@mariahcarey Receives Vanguard Award, Wins First-Ever Trophy at the 2025 VMAs

At long last — one of the most celebrated voices in music history — has claimed her first-ever MTV Video Music Award, and in the most fitting way possible. 

At the 2025 ceremony, the icon was honored with the prestigious Vanguard Award, a recognition reserved for trailblazers whose artistry has forever changed the music landscape.

For over three decades, Carey has defined eras, written timeless ballads, and redefined the limits of vocal artistry. From “Vision of Love” to “We Belong Together”, her catalog stands as a testament to both technical mastery and emotional resonance. The Vanguard Award now formally etches her into the VMAs’ legacy — a moment many fans have long called overdue.

Beyond the accolade itself, the win is symbolic: a reminder of how institutions are beginning to catch up with Carey’s impact. 

With more than 200 million records sold worldwide, 19 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s (the most for any solo artist), and a voice that remains unparalleled, she is a blueprint for generations of vocalists and songwriters.

The evening was more than a celebration of Mariah Carey’s artistry; it was a cultural acknowledgment of her undeniable role as a pioneer in pop, R&B, and global music history.

✨ For the Lambily and for music lovers everywhere, this was not just a trophy — it was justice.

Monday Motivation | Music Custodian This week’ Monday Motivation | Music Custodian 

This week’s mantra is simple yet profound: “I am the message that I bring.” 💡

@iamkevingates reminds us that true empowerment starts within. You cannot pour into others if you are not first pouring into yourself. 

Discipline, accountability, and resilience are not just buzzwords—they are the standards we must embody before asking them of our teams, our communities, or the world.

Yes, the world can be cruel. But perspective is power. When you shift your lens, miracles reveal themselves. Every challenge becomes an invitation. Every obstacle becomes an opening. Every moment asks: “What else can I conquer to rise to the next level?”

At Music Custodian, we believe in this rhythm of growth. We are hard on ourselves not because we doubt, but because we know we must sharpen ourselves for the beauty and battles of the journey.

This Monday, let’s step boldly into the week. Let’s commit to being living messages of strength, creativity, and culture. Let’s conquer, not just for ourselves, but for the communities and stories we carry forward. 🌍✨

South African sensation Tyla has etched her name e South African sensation Tyla has etched her name even deeper into Afrobeats history, becoming the first artist to win “Best Afrobeats” at the MTV Video Music Awards for two consecutive years.

At the 2025 ceremony, @tyla once again stood tall on the global stage, reaffirming her place as one of the genre’s most powerful ambassadors. The back-to-back victory is more than just a personal triumph — it signals the continued rise of South African sounds within the global Afrobeats movement, from amapiano influences to Tyla’s signature fusion of R&B, pop, and African rhythm.

Her win also underscores how African artists are not only shaping charts but reshaping culture itself. Just 2years ago, Tyla’s breakout hit “Water” had the world in a chokehold, streaming billions of times while inspiring viral dances across continents. In 2025, her artistry proves it was no fluke: she has cemented herself as a voice of longevity, versatility, and innovation.

The consecutive recognition from MTV is also symbolic — a reminder that Afrobeats is not a moment, but a movement. Tyla’s presence at the heart of that movement testifies to the depth and diversity of Africa’s new wave, where young women are no longer on the sidelines but front and center as culture shapers.

From Johannesburg to the world stage, Tyla’s wins are a celebration of African excellence, Black creativity, and the unstoppable tide of global music led by the continent.
