Senzaa and Josiah De Disciple

This Is Africa

Available for 356 days

Buckle up with DJ Edu the Afroboss as we meet the Togolese Beyonce. Senzaa, a singer-songwriter with a passion for live performances, talks us through her musical journey from gospel to RnB and Afropop – with a shoutout to the priest who told her to chase her dreams. She tells us how her big hit Evanem – all about the loneliness women often experience in a relationship – has struck a deep chord with audiences. And back on the scene in South Africa is Josiah De Disciple. Best known as one half of the pioneering amapiano duo JazziDisciples, he speaks about how his upbringing in the township of Alexandra in Johannesburg has shaped his sound – and how a deep spiritual journey is now guiding the music he’s creating as a solo artist.
