“Spinlet’s catalogue of African and international music is proving popular on a global basis.

We are seeing increasing interest for artists and albums outside of the mainstream, and are very proud to be helping audiences to discover new musical experiences,” said Balonwu.

“The future of music is mobile and also global as we continue to see consumers increasingly pull in tracks from artists based all around the world. It’s time to support the continent”, she added.

Recently the New York, US-based Spinlet - the largest provider of quality music on the go in Africa, ITRealms gathered, supported the NEA by hosting an exclusive gala for stakeholders in the Diaspora.
