Apple Music 1's ‘The Dotty Show’ features Dotty interviewing the artists lighting up Apple Music with the biggest tracks across hip-hop, Afrobeats, pop, Amapiano and everything in between, from across the globe.
On the last Wednesday of each month she hosts a special feature on her Worldwide Wednesdays show dedicated to the hottest sounds from around Africa.
“It’s impossible to celebrate the global impact of Black music without spotlighting the abundant sounds coming out of the African continent,” said Dotty, Apple Music 1 host and Lead Cultural Curator, Black Music, UK. “Our monthly playlist specials allow us to dedicate time to what is, to me, the most exciting and innovative music market in the world right now.”
This month’s episode is dedicated to Apple Music’s ongoing Visionary Women campaign in South Africa, celebrating Women’s Month, and features Uncle Waffles, Nkosozana Daughter, DJ Zinhle and Sio, as well as two exclusive DJ mixes created by DJ Zinhle and Sio, alongside the hottest new tracks from the hottest female artists in Mzansi.
Check out ‘The Dotty Show’ this Wednesday, August 30th at 3p London / 3p Lagos/Paris / 4p Johannesburg / 6a LA / 9a NYC on Apple Music 1.
