Nigerian megastar and King of recent generation high life music, Flavour dropped his album 'Flavour of Africa' yesterday, December 5, 2020. As we get into it, here's a thorough compilation of the 10 Best Songs of Flavour N’abaina.
Over the years, Flavour has consistently stamped his creative ingenuity in the hearts of music lovers within and outside Nigeria. Despite his good looks, the sexy looking body which he is never tired of flaunting, and his flirtatious dance moves (Whining of his waist), he is, however, widely celebrated for his highlife influenced songs which he mostly renders in his native dialect, 'Igbo'.
Without a doubt, Flavour has released quite some pleasant tunes we narrow this list to what we consider being his top 10 best songs, based on song popularity, impact, and wide acceptance.
