In the fall of 2016 and winter 2017, three Afropop producers spent over two months gathering music and interviewing artists, activists, scholars and other players in the music scenes of Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano and Edo State. The result is Afropop’s most ambitious undertaking to date, a set of radio documentaries and Web offerings that add up to a profound musical portrait of Nigeria.
