It\\u2019s not every day that you get to meet pioneering musicians, but that\\u2019s exactly what happened to us when we sat down with Show Dem Camp (SDC) in their hometown, Lagos.

It won\\u2019t be an exaggeration to say that the rap duo is responsible in defining the music industry in Nigeria today. The Nigeria-born members Ghost (Olumide Ayeni) & Tec (Wale Davies) have dome that by embracing and popularizing the palm-wine music genre, which originated in West Africa. 

Palm wine is essentially African, and so is palmwine music. As Tec mentioned in the interview with Globetrotter, it\\u2019s \\u201cwhat is organic, what is originally ours.\\u201d Through their Clone Wars series, for example, they\\u2019re offering \\u201ca snapshot of who [they] are\\u201c as Nigerians. Tec continued, \\u201cNigeria is a place where we were  born with frustration. We learn to continue to live and adapt with frustration.\\u201c In their music there\\u2019s an honest take about young guys trying to make it in this present-time Nigeria. 

SDC brings palmwine music to a higher level with Palmwine Music Fest. The festival was founded in 2017 to celebrate African music and introduce West African music to the continent. Ghost and Tec, though, also want the festival to go beyond that and turn it into a platform for up-and-coming African musicians \\u201cwith the hope that those people, when they\\u2019re in that position, they\\u2019ll be able to bring up other people as well.\\u201c
