“Afro-Adura” – The Sound of Survival Launches a New Wave
Nigeria TV Info – July 12, 2025

In recent months, a new music trend has captured the hearts of Nigerian youth: Afro‑Adura, also known as “trenches music” (music of struggle and resilience). This genre blends gospel, fuji, trap, and deep Yoruba spirituality, powerfully resonating with those facing daily hardship.

Leading the movement are artists like Seyi Vibez, Bhadboi OML, M3lon (“Nepa”), and Diamond Jimma, who view their songs as modern-day musical prayers—filled with messages of survival, faith, and hope.

According to young listeners interviewed by Nigeria TV Info, this music not only entertains but uplifts the soul. “When there’s no light and nothing to eat, this music helps us carry on,” said a fan from Lagos.

🌟 Why Pay Attention?

The style is exploding on TikTok and deeply rooted in street culture.

Many songs are performed in local languages, making the emotional impact stronger.

This isn’t luxury music—it’s a tool for survival and self-expression.
