Spotify celebrates Nigeria's independence with three new playlists
To celebrate Nigeria's 62nd independence, music streaming platform Spotify has unveiled three new playlists.
The playlists showcase Nigeria's musical diversity, spanning from Fuji to the golden age of Afrobeats.
These playlists, they say, provide a home for music that millions of Nigerians of all ages and persuasions have loved and listened to for decades.
Besides the global growth of Afrobeats, Nigeria is also home to a diverse music culture, with genres of unique origins and artists who have created iconic music across the ages.
To underscore this, Spotify claims to have given voice to some of the unsung genres of Nigerian music, its most pivotal decades, and the creators and hit songs that laid the groundwork for Afrobeats' success . Below is a list of these exciting playlists.
Building on its most recent success, this playlist traces the evolution of the Fuji genre and its most essential artists, from Kollington Ayinla to Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
Fans of the early days of Afrobeats, and everyone else, will find nostalgia and fond memories in the "I Love My 2000s Afrobeats" playlist.
Including some of the songs that started the "Afrobeats To The World" movement, this playlist is a medley of hits you'll keep coming back to.
For those looking to connect with the Nigerian experience through conversation, here are some podcasts you should listen to in October:
Articulate One
I said what I said
Tea with Tay
Menisms
How far? With Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola
