@ajplus: Dolly Parton is HUGE across Africa. 🇿🇦🇿🇼🇰🇪 But how did an American country singer become such an important part of life for millions of people across the continent? #DollyParton #Africa #CountryMusic #WorkingClass

Donell Jackson (umZuluozulayo) :

It’s not Country music that is popular in Africa, it’s Dolly Parton that is popular in Country

🪷🌸🎀K🎀🌸🪷 :

Y’all think Africa is totally disconnected from the world💀

Maisha from down the street :

Country music only became white and conservative the last 20 years

Friend Shape :

Nelson Mandela would request Dolly songs in prison because that's what gave him the most hope

🌞ele :

Dolly was African the same way Princess Diana was African😭

summerchild :

Black people don't play about Dolly.

Vivie :

We, I don't listen to country music, I listen to Dolly Parton!

How's XDDCC? :

As an African, people's reaction here to dolly Parton's death is nearly the same as their reaction to Princess Diana's death years ago. That's how special Dolly was.

Ignition Music 🎶 🎵 :

Dolly is a Goddess in Jamaica all my life 🧬🧬

morphiusmotswana :

Check her rendition of our anthem...PERFECT PRONUNCIATION of the 5 languages...Taxi drivers would blast full albums all the time... We LOVE Dolly

All I'd say is if Kenny Rodgers ever came to Kenya the country would have literally stopped.

💐Sere_Ngeti💐 :

In the 70s and 80s we had a radio show called 'Sundowner' and we grew up listening to Dolly, Kenny and Don Williams. I miss those days...

Tumelo Anderson :

Dolly has a Song with Lady Smith Black Mambazo...😁

Cher :

GG :

My South African mom only listens to old school country music 🥰

Merida the Archer 🏹 :

Dolly Parton was never maga she supported the gay and trans community said she had them allllll in her family

Nguvu :

As a millenial African child, I knew Dolly Parton's name before I knew my parents' real names. Basically, we grew up with our parents playing her songs daily, as early as toddlers

foxy_lowryda :

Authenticity is well received worldwide. 💓

Metaphysical Maverick :

Im a millenial and I used to watch the Dolly Parton variety show on tv in Zimbabwe🇿🇼. That's how I became a fan. Also, country music was HUGE among boomers, gen X and elder millenials. Kenny Rogers, Don Williams, Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner etc have a massive fan base among that generation to this day.
