Comment on Why don’t we hear much about Africa?

  Africa is not a country.

  So? Bands and companies can be American or European; why not African?

    When people say America they are 99% of the time referring to the US - otherwise it’s made clear in the conversation that they are talking about “the Americas” or it’s already been made clear it’s about companies or people in the Americas.

    Don’t be disingenuous - saying “Africa” has no comparison to talking about the US, and bands? Wtf do bands have to do with anything? And again, I’m sure a band from Uganda, playing traditional Ugandan music would bristle at being generically labelled “African”.
