Sonia Sousa and Fido

Available for 140 days

Sonia Sousa released her debut single Pa bo in 2022, and in 2023, she won the Revelation Artist of the Year prize at the Cape Verde Music Awards, for featuring on rapper Hélio Batalha's track Dexam Bua. Last year, she dropped her debut eight-track EP called Sabi. She tells TIA she had no idea she could sing when she was asked to front a music school band, and was equally unprepared when Cesaria Evora's producer wanted to meet her! Fido has also had an extraordinary last couple of years. In August 2024, his first release, Awolowo, made it to number one in Nigeria, and he closely followed it with another hit, Joy is Coming, which went viral on social media. He is being hailed an authentic new voice, with a fresh take when it comes to Afrofusion sounds.
