AWA
AWA is a hip-hop artist from Zimbabwe, who uses her music and stage image to emphasize her native culture of Ndebele. She is permanently based in Germany, but her main sources of inspiration are South African hip-hop and kwaito. Her alias comes from the first letters of the name Awakhiwe, but at the same time it’s an abbreviation of “African Women Arise”. Her lyrics are mainly about growing up in a poor neighbourhood and social issues concerning women living in ghettos, such as domestic violence, rape, teenage pregnancies or prostitution. 2019 marked the release of the rapper’s debut album.
