Midnight Ride to Lagos: A City That Sings in Its Sleep

What’s good, fam? You’re now tuned in to Episode 96 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. And guess what? We're still riding aboard the Magical Music Bus — your one-way ticket to the most vibrant, vital, and overlooked sounds from around the globe. Last stop? We were deep in Chile, where protest anthems and Andean soul lit the sky with revolution and rhythm. But this time? We’ve crossed oceans and landed in the bold, beating heart of West Africa — Nigeria. This ain’t just another pit stop — it’s a cultural collision, a sonic uprising, and a global vibe transmission from Lagos to the world. I’m your host Kenny Chiba — your music selector, narrator, and guide through the grooves less traveled. And this time around, we’re tuning into a musical landscape that refuses to be defined. This is more than Afrobeats. It’s alté, afro-fusion, spiritual jazz, rebel soul, and DIY cool. Buckle up. The Magical Music Bus has no brakes. Let’s go!!
