Pioneers film outlines the Nigerian group’s influence
Much of what the general public has come to know of the Nigerian music scene over the past few years has been through the pop-leaning afrobeats of artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Tiwa Savage, and Yemi Alade, who have managed to break through to the global mainstream. But one of the more exciting developments out of the country in recent memory is its youth culture — which is producing refreshing contributions to the world of fashion, art, and music. That youth culture is sometimes referred to as the Alté scene, which is responsible for rising stars such as Santi, Odunsi The Engine, Lady Donli, Tems, and more.
