Nigerian Music Artists: Kizz Daniel, Joeboy, and Naira Marley

Anywhere a person goes, even as far away as the country of Nigeria, they will discover that music plays a significant role in the local culture. A person does not necessarily need to comprehend the dialect of the country to relish the beauty of the message that the music delivers because music is a universal language.

The many ethnic groups that make up Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, all benefit from music. Nigerian music, which is a varied fusion of Afro Beat, Afro Fission, Yoruba style culture songs from the west, and High Life from the eastern Igbos, has been heard and appreciated by people all over the world.

Wizkid (Grammy winner), Burna Boy (Grammy Best Album winner), Davido, Kizz Daniel (the song "Buga" ft. Tekno), Don Jazzy, and female musicians Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Tems, and Simi are just a few of the well-known Nigerian musicians. In contrast to the music of the west, Nigerians prefer to dance to songs composed in their motherland, therefore music composed by Nigerians can be heard everywhere—in the streets, banks, homes, and at all events.

Listeners can hear music on well-known radio stations like Love FM 104.5 and Brekete Human Right Radio FM 101.1. You can also hear the music of Nigerian musicians Wizkid and Burna Boy on American entertainment venues like O2 Arena and Madison Square Garden, where stars like Drake, Justin Bieber, and numerous others perform.

Although his homeland is Nigeria, Wizkid has the chance to spread his music over the world. Burna Boy is also doing amazingly well due to the popularity of his music. According to rumors, Burna Boy, who consistently creates chart-topping singles, could soon overtake Michael Jackson in terms of fame.

Keep in mind the hashtags that proudly reflect Nigerian music: #Wizkidayo #burnaboy #kissDaniel #tiwasavage.
