Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since November 2018, reggae is undeniably a music that contributes to the good of humanity as a whole. In this book, authors from various academic backgrounds examine the contribution of this music to post-colonial Africa. Through emblematic figures such as Tiken Jah Fakoly, Alpha Blondy and Lucky Dube, this music of Jamaican origin, now very "Africanised¿, is presented as a music that describes, defends and values the African continent. African reggae, sung by Africans, using African musical instruments in addition to the classics, has become an instrument in the fight for democratisation, effective liberation and the dignity of Africa. This book is above all a tribute to the African reggaemen who have used reggae, this weapon of combat, in the context of post-colonial Africa.
