It’s still the month of March, and we are still taking every day to celebrate women and their contributions to the advancement of society. Music industries all around the world have continued to experience increased female participation, and the Nigerian music industry is, of course, not left out.
However, today I want us to not only celebrate women but also celebrate songs that celebrate women, songs about women empowerment and create awareness about women-only issues. The importance of having female participation in music is not so that we can have the same number of male and female artists. It is rather about having music that can stir up conversations about women-only issues and celebrate female uniqueness based on their firsthand experiences. We have more than enough songs that demean and sexualize women to validate the last point.
So in honour of International Women’s Month, here is a playlist of songs celebrating Women, their roles and their achievements in our society.
Woman - Simi
Strong Woman - Yemi Alade, Waje, Victoria Kimani
Martha -Chidinma
So Inspired - Waje ft Muna
But we’ve not had it all bad from the boys too. Here are a few songs from male artists celebrating women. Some of them have gone on to become classics even in women-only spaces.
Woman - Tekno
Wonder woman - Davido
Virtuous woman -Flavour
Obim -Timi Dakolo
You will agree with me these are all songs for every season because the celebration of women cannot be confined to a day or even a month. Why not create a playlist on Epoh Music today? It will definitely come in handy whenever you are feeling extra thankful for the women in your life.
