  1. 3 November 2025Harpist Mariea Antoinette’s chart-topping “Afrika” is her first world music outingR&B/Jazz harpist Mariea Antoinette was changed forever during a recent trip to Africa. Inspired by the continent’s elevated energy, rooted wisdom, and historic pain, she was deeply moved by the beauty of the people and children, the vibrant rhythms of the cities, the joy of the markets, the freshness of the food, and the grace of the Indigenous communities. What Antoinette experienced on that visit was far richer and more powerful than what she had ever seen previously about Africa. Upon her return, she connected with her producer and songwriter Allan Phillips to create “Afrika,” her chart-topping single that is being considered for a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Global Music Performance. “Afrika” comes from Antoinette’s fourth album, “Fierce,” which will be released next year.Read more
