I was thinking of Ace Tee, from Hamburg: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Tee
I especially liked “Jumpa” (starts at 2:35 in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beNAT-vIAxE From 2017 - it’s more R&B than afropop tho.

Nouveau Nakamura:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSi8w6xJwVcAya Nakamura • Jolie Nana(song starts at 3:55)Meanwhile, “Djadja” has blown up in the Spanish-speaking parts of the world. Its most recent remix (there’ve been a few) is with Maluma.

Anyone listen to the new Nakamura album?I found it very enjoyable and pleasantly varied. Not sure there’s another “Djadja”, but “Tchop” is no doubt earmarked as the next “Pookie”, “Doudou”, with its smoky Nigerian beat/production, is ace, “Fly” is a lovely ballad, “Ça blesse” is a great deep cut, closing track “Préféré” with OBOY could be the surprise hit - and then there’s current smash “Plus Jamais” with Stormzy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQMdSu-xTcOne thing that struck me while listening is how much I, with my competent-at-best French, was able to follow the lyrics. She seems to have dialled back the argot/“street French” compared to her previous stuff, which I found quite impenetrable in places (although, according to French Wikipedia, not much has changed: ”L'album utilise toujours une langue française « élastique et inventive », enrichie d'argot et de ses expressions.”)

btw Tracer, don't know if you're familiar with this thread that popped up as if by magic yesterday: What are your kids listening to in 2021?(I c&p'ed our little convo to it, seemed appropriate)

She's based in Brussels rather than France, but Lous and the Yakuza is probably my favourite discovery of 2020 and I'll be voting for her in tracks and albums in the ILM polls
