Description
1 article.
Summary
Nigeria’s music history is rich in near-mythical artists such as William Onyeabor, Fela Kuti and his cousins, the Lijadu Sisters. Identical twins Taiwo and Kehinde released their debut album in 1969 and were pioneers of Nigerian pop – or afropop, as we know it today – throughout the following decade. However, for much of their career they went without royalties and faced the unauthorized exploitation of their work.
