With Coachella kicking off today, Tyla and fellow African artists Amaarae, Rema, and others transform the desert into a showcase of the continent's musical diversity.
The South African artist joins the legendary Miriam Makeba with a new Billboard achievement. She has also announced the on-demand stream of her South African concert on Showmax.
The first weekend of the prestigious festival gave the continent some resounding highs from Tyla, Seun Kuti, and Amaarae — and a confusing low from Rema.
After years of nominations and near misses, the Nigerian superstar claims the Best International Act Award, while African talent continues its global ascension at the ceremony.
According to recent Spotify data, these three artists were the most streamed artists from the continent followed by artists from various parts of the continent.
