Abstract
- The Lijadu Sisters, Taiwo and Kehinde, were influential Nigerian musicians who challenged gender norms and spoke out against the government during Nigeria's civil war. Despite their impact, they often did not receive proper recognition or compensation. Their music has recently experienced a resurgence of interest, and their albums are being reissued. Taiwo Lijadu, the surviving member, plans to continue making music and address the history of slavery in Africa. [Extracted from the article]
