It is a misnomer to speak of “African Culture” as a homogenous group.

There are many, quite different cultures in Africa, stretching from the Arab Muslims in North Africa, through the Animist tribes further south, into the pastoralist tribes of northern Kenya (my old stomping grounds), which has no one identifying culture. The Swahili are a people and culture found around Mombasa on the coast, and that culture extends south through Tanzania and into Mozambique. There are many other tribes as one goes down into South African Zulu and Xhosa.

And that was just the eastern side of Africa!

Wikipedia lists 72 subcategories under African Culture.
