The Krio Fusion Playlist: New Sierra Leone Music Out this August

The Krio Fusion Playlist just got bigger and better with eight brand-new tracks. Curated by Vickie Remoe, the playlist keeps showing off the best of Sierra Leone’s music mixing street vibes, culture, romance, and powerful messages.

Here’s what Vickie has to say about her selection process:

“Each month I review all the songs submitted and those I find on my own. I listen as a music fan and as a Sierra Leone culture champion. The songs that make it on the playlist must meet my criteria which includes production and sound value, lyricism, storytelling, culturally forward, dope beat or infection rhythm and last but not least a song on this list must be identifiably Sierra Leonean (instruments or lyrics). I am curating this playlist to highlight what I feel is the best music out each month.”

As usual the Krio fusion playlist has a no skip guarantee so listen now! Stream now on Audiomack and Spotify. Save the shortlink so you can always find it – https://li.sten.to/kriofusion.

Please note that due to artist song distribution limitations some songs on the Audiomack version of the playlist may be missing from Spotify. Sierra Leonean artists are still struggling to access the right DSPs.
