New Grammy category highlights the global appeal of African music – PBS NewsHour

Mathias Broohm:

I grew up in an African family. We’d have our different lunches than the American kids. We would look different. We would dress different. They’re like, oh, you’re not cool. You’re from Africa. You’re not from here, blah, blah.

And fast forward to this day and age, everyone’s like, so what’s popping in Ghana right now? What’s popping in? Like, I saw the Nigerians wearing this. Where can I get that? And it’s totally so weird to see it, but, I mean, it’s great to finally see it.
