Best of…2023 Playlists Part III: Editor’s Picks

by Tola Ositelu

Season’s Greetings to our extended, worldwide Afropean family.

As a thank you to all our readers for your support throughout 2023- and also for a bit of fun – we thought we’d do something a little different for the festive period this year. Regular contributors and members of the editorial team have compiled a list of some of their musical favourites over the past 12 months. We’ll be posting each selection in the run up to Christmas. Who knows? It could become an Afropean.com tradition.

We round things off with Tola’s picks (listening links below). These eclectic mixtapes feature cuts by Gorillaz, Cleo Sol, Sampha, Masego, Dinner Party, Sondae, Lous & the Yakuza, Norah Jones & Robert Glasper, Jorja Smith, Bokani Dyer, Pink Pantheress feat. Ice Spice, Jessie Ware, Caixa Cubo, Anderson .Paak (N*Worries), Kurt Elling, Christine & the Queens, Kadhja Bonet, Benny Sings, Yussef Dayes, Mayer Hawthorne and many more…

Full tracklists: Part 1 & Part 2

A quick overview of Tola’s 2023 musical highlights is also available here

Wishing you all a safe, peace-filled and enjoyable Christmas/End-of-Year celebrations.
