Artbeat Africa

Artbeat Africa brings you the best cultural and music interviews by the Focus on Africa team this week. In this edition, Akon headlines at a concert for peace in DR Congo, but do events like this achieve anything? we hear from a taxi driver in Washington who's no ordinary cabbie.... He's an Ethio-jazz star of the seventies whose music has just been re-released. Sierra Leone's musicians raise awareness of the deadly Ebola virus, plus we hear from South African rapper Tumi Molekane.
