</p><p>While Rema is the sole artist representing for Nigeria on this year's list, the Obama's have also highlighted fellow newcomers like <strong>Koffee</strong>, <strong>Lil Nas X </strong>and <strong>Lizzo</strong>. <strong>Beyoncé's </strong>"MOOD 4EVA," a standout from her <em>The Lion King: The Gift</em> album, that features legendary Malian singer <strong>Oumou Sangaré</strong> also made the cut. <br></p><p>It's been a big year for African artists gaining international recognition, and Rema's inclusion on the list is only further proof of the growing influence of contemporary African sounds. It's also further proof that the Obamas' have great taste. </p><p>Check out the Obamas' full 2019 playlist below. </p><div id="716b3" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="I5KRIS1566873368"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0;
