From makossa to azonto, qqom, and most recently amapiano, the Nigerian music industry is adept at lending, repurposing, and popularizing influences from other cultures. Before the amapiano trend, Nigeria and South Africa have long maintained a rapport that transcends musical exchange, as seen between Fela<\/a> and Hugh Masekela<\/a>, Burna Boy<\/a> and AKA<\/a>, Wizkid<\/a> and DJ Maphorisa<\/a>, Runtown<\/a> and Nasty C<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
