Hannah Shogbola at Daju Says, "AfroFuture Sounds is a true reflection of the ever emerging talent from across Africa with a key focus on West African artists. We wanted to platform the Afro sound and its diverse musical spectrum and this programme has something for everybody. Although it was created during a time of extreme restrictions it introduces unique upcoming artists all destined for success from Nigeria to London to Mozambique!"
