How Salawa Abeni rose from housemaid to Waka queen
In other news, Legit.ng earlier reported on Salawa Abeni's impressive rise to fame.
She was born into a polygamous home in Igbogun, one of the mangrove villages bordering Ogun and Lagos state. Salawa's childhood was rough, and when things took a terrible turn, she was sent off as a housemaid in a neighbouring town.
She was blessed with a melodious voice, which the people she worked for noticed, and it was perfect for Waka music, an indigenous traditional Yoruba music sung mainly by women.
