In the African music industry, women tend not to be as successful as their male counter parts. So since yesterday was international women's day, I thought I'd share with you my top 5 female influential African music artists.
- #5: Perola (Angola)
I love Perola's elegance beauty, voice and music. And she definitely for me carries the flag for female musicians in Angola.
- #4: The late Brenda Fassie (South Africa)
My mum was and still is a BRenda fan. Regardless of her age and petite little frame, this woman had energy that not even I could handle. A great lost, but nevertheless she left us with some good music.
- #3: Cesaria Évora (Cape Verde)
The grammy nominated cape verdian barefoot queen who we tragerdly lost at the end of last year. She Will never be forgotten.
- #2: Sara Tavares (Portugal/Cape Verde)
I love Sara Tavares with all my heart. Her music, though simplistic, gets the message across. Beautiful.
And drum roll please....
- #1: my fave artist, Nneka (Nigeria)
This should be of no surprise. What more can I say?! I LOVE NNEKA!
Celebrating women everyday.
