Navio explains that African music is defined greatly by diversity and he has embraced the trait in the “Strength In Numbers” album which consists of different sounds
When people like my brother Burna Boy have talked to me about Africa finding ‘one sound’ that may be useful for ‘Numbers’ but I don’t believe it’s African.
I wake up wanting to hear Congo music, lunch time I might play some Senegalese joints, in the afternoon I’m bumping an album from Morocco the Namibia. Living peacefully with our diversity is our most treasured African trait . Diversity of sound is where our identity lies.

Navio stresses that the album is aimed at uniting Africans as one large group of brothers and sisters. He talks about the emphasis of the most important people in African music being the numbers on ground rather than those online.
On 25th April 2020, the album will be dropping on all Navio’s online platforms (@Naviomusic) and Navio Universe on YouTube. Brace yourselves!
