If you're just stuck on American artists & don't like to venture out into the musical stratosphere,I'm going to show you what you are missing.Asha,for one!She is a Nigerian musician with a soul-stirring voice!She plays the guitar like India Arie & has that raw emotion only a soul singer could bring to a song.And do you want to know how I heard about her? Well,there's an Jamaican version of her song "Jailer" that Jah Cure made.In the comments section of YouTube,someone remarked that they liked Asha's version better.Here's both versions of "Jailer".I have to agree with the person who left that comment.Jah Cure is one talented brother,but Asha's is so much better.Why didn't he collaborate with her instead of Phyllisia?
Here's more on the remarkably talented & beautiful Asha from Bella Naija.com:
"Asa is a different kind of artiste. Her music is organic and melodious. Just her voice and her guitar. Simply stunning! Musical artistes like Asa do not rely on the glitz and the glamour, rather they let their talent speak for itself. Asa is a favourite amongst the expatriate crowd and ‘real’ music lovers in Nigeria. She has appeared on the cover of True Love West Africa magazine is a true Nigerian musical ambassador."(END OF EXCERPT)Read about more Nigerian divas here:http://www.bellanaija.com/2007/03/14/nigerias-musical-divas/
