Olegwa Nengite is very passionate about Afropop culture. She’s so plugged into the music scene that she runs an Instagram account, soundbackk, where she curates Afropop classics. Her page proves the timeless quality of throwback songs like 2Baba’s “Implication” while also immortalizing the time-honored sound of the genre by sharing it with the younger generation on the trendy social media platform.
We’ve enlisted her expertise for the latest episode of our alt. mondays playlist and the theme is #loveinlagos. Though Lagos is generally known for pressuring people into being workaholics, Olegwa Nengite has chosen to highlight the romance inspired from the city. The 22-track offering hurls listeners into the emotional warmth of love with several contemporary Afropop tunes that showoff Nengite’s range as well as the genre’s deeply affectionate sentiments. With the wide array of artists featured, Tiwa Savage, Tay Iwar, Buju, Oxlade, The Cavemen, Dami Oniru and more, the playlist allows you to enjoy the different expressions of love through diverse sound of contemporary Afropop.
