And the Afro-futuristic visuals in the video for "Makisi" are not to be missed!</p> <figure><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZkFL0SqZb8KAgMdbGHzIV-QhbXX-duR-"><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nj2wLjrUKJA" allowfullscreen="" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0"></iframe></a></figure> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZkFL0SqZb8KAgMdbGHzIV-QhbXX-duR-" target="_blank">Click here to see the other new entries</a>, and the rest of our picks for the great Afropop videos of 2023...</p>
