Nigerian singers, Wizkid and Tems have made former US President Barack Obama’s list of ‘Favourite Music of 2020’.
Obama has an annual tradition of releasing list of things that got him engaged each year. Before releasing his list of ‘Favorite Music of 2020’, he had released his “Favorite Books of 2020”.
In 2019, Grammy nominee Burna Boy and Mavin Records’ star Rema made the favorite list with “Anybody” and “Iron man” respectively.
But this year, his Nigerian pick for 2020 is Essence, a single from Wizkid’s “Made In Lagos” album in which he features Tems.
From the list released, the former president has a diversified taste, listening to music from various genres, such as pop, R&B, hip-hop, música urban and country music.
