World Cup Soundtrack: Shakira and Burna Boy dropped the official 2026 anthem “Dai Dai,” but early streaming chatter is already mixed. Public Life: Accra’s thunderstorms disrupted flights at Kotoka International Airport, and Liberia has launched a police-backed crackdown on noise pollution, with fines and speaker confiscations. Creative Economy: Spotify opened a Johannesburg office to deepen ties with African audio creators, podcasts and audiobooks.
