Screen and Sound Diaries #afrobeats

In recent years, the global music scene has witnessed a remarkable surge in Nigerian talent, with dynamic female artists at the forefront, reshaping the musical landscape. Among these trailblazers are Ayra Starr and Tems, who have not only captured international attention but have also solidified African music's place on the global stage. Their recent album releases have been nothing short of revolutionary, demonstrating the diverse and dynamic nature of contemporary Nigerian music.

During Sunday's NBA Halftime spectacular at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, Nigerian superstars Tems, Burna Boy, and Rema gave a groundbreaking performance of Afrobeats.

Ayra Starr, a megastar in Nigeria, has just dropped a new single titled "Sability." The song continues her self-proclaimed title, "Sabi Girl," which refers to a skilled artist. The song's name, "Sability," shows that her team saw potential in the idea of a "Sabi girl," which Ayra had unintentionally made famous with her first record and subsequent branding efforts.

The only thing I believe that the Headies achieved this year was embarrassing ourselves to outsiders. It's one thing to embarrass ourselves In our country, but to go outside and make a fool of ourselves is another level. It just goes to show how unserious the award event is. I believe we should have gotten it right here in Nigeria before taking it outside.
