Planet Afropop - Breaking into Afrobeats: Homegrown, Selfmade

Host FayFay sits with two emerging Nigerian artists whose paths are as bold as their sound: Looking for Avala and Inima. Avala opens up about her journey from sneaking into open mics in New York to navigating motherhood and music in Lagos. She reflects on her identity, independence, and the power of trusting her own voice literally and figuratively.Then we meet Inima, a self-taught producer and vocalist from Port Harcourt, whose story is shaped by defiance, layered soundscapes, and a deep spiritual connection to music. These are stories of resilience without a roadmap, where making music isn’t just a career, but a calling. PA 041
