Music sharing Mali style

The Digital Human

Available for over a year

Musicologist Chris Kirkley explains the workings of Mali’s music sharing culture. With everyone’s phone blaring out music from their tiny speakers it’s not uncommon for people to just walk up to one another and ask for the phone’s owner to share a track. It’s through this exchange that a unique network of music is spreading across West Africa.
