What a difference a month makes in what constitutes the best African music videos?
Sasha aka Nigeria's Missy Elliott has good staying power, as she has been on the countdown for over a month without much progress though. It seems Southern Africa continues to dominate on the countdown, with South Africa replacing Angola as the nation with the most music videos. Freshlyground is already on the countdown with their first single of the Ma'cheri album called Pot belly.
It seems South African men are taking to the rhythm and blues genre pretty well. After being dominated by Kwaito, House, Afro-pop and Reggae, Loyiso and Tumi are leading the surge of male crooners.
See the previous countdown here for the Adara music video by Sasha.
To the countdown,
10 Siphokazi (South Africa) - Amacala
9 Tumi (South Africa) - Give me you
8 Buraka Som Sistema ft Petty (Angola) - Wawaba (V1.8)
