Nneka (NGA)

For Nigerian singer Nneka, music is an aid to life. A consolation, but also a means of transportation for lyrics in which she denounces grievances and social injustice. In her unconventional mix of reggae, soul and hip-hop, there is room for both: personal introspection and rebellion. Since Nneka landed a global hit with “Hearbeat”, she has been regarded as one of Africa's most powerful voices.
