Nneka
Nneka Egbuna hails from the oil-rich Nigerian city of Warri where the extremes of wealth and poverty live side-by-side. The ensuing tensions and contrasts are reflected in her music and her first CD Victim of Truth. A soaring voice, biting lyrics and disarming honesty characterise the diminutive singer. Since 2000, Nneka shares her time between Warri and the German city of Hamburg. In 2008 she released her second international album No Longer at Ease.

She has caught a cold, partly as a result of a hectic schedule, yet she is more than happy for a long and rambling exchange about her career. This interview was first broadcast by the English service of Radio France International and its flagship music programme World Tracks.
