Afrobeat artist R Mixy joins this episode from Nigeria to share what he's learned about the steps he's taken as a professional artist while not forgetting about serving his community. He doesn't leave behind his tradition of using music in all aspects of life: births, funerals, weddings, farming and even singing with his neighborhood's children and youth. We also get to talk about the surge of Afrobeat, the dynamics between African artists and outside music influences, the role of musicians in society and much more!
