Alright, so we have the Music & Radio topic to keep us updated of our music but what about people in United States, Europe, Australia, the rest of Africa, Latin America, do they know about Nigerian music culture?
That's why I was interested if you would like to share your love for Nigerian music (or any other music for that matter) with the rest of the World through an online song contest (World Forum Song Contest), meaning each month you would suggest some song you like (and send mp3) and when all the songs are known (at the beginning of the month) you would download and listen to make a top ten and wait for the results at the end of the month.
This contest takes place each month for 10 years
Do we have such cute contests on this forum??
Anywayz, here are the Nigerian songs entered in previous 100+ editions of WFSC:
"Beng Beng Beng, Da Lata" by Femi Kuti
"Work Work" by Dr Alban
"African Unity" by Majek Fashek
"Pearls" by Sade
"Your Kind of Woman" by Tony Tetuila
"Letting Me Down Gently" by Tunde Baiyewu

These songs were entered by non-Nigerians who apparently like our music & associate them with Nigeria.
What do you think??
