Nigerian Afro-pop singer Yemi Alade, whose hit
song Jonny dominated charts across Africa two years ago, won MTV's best
female African artist for 2015.
One of the songs on her
new album, Mama Africa, is a Swahili version of the track Na Gode, which
means thank you in Hausa and had lyrics in mixture of Nigerian
languages.
She spoke to BBC Africa's Sophie Ikenye about her love for Swahili and the theme of the new album.
