West Africa
Nigeria
Africa's loudest, fastest, most creative city.
The culture
Lagos is the biggest city in Africa and the birthplace of Afrobeats, which now runs the world's dance floors. It is chaotic, funny, ambitious and endlessly generative — an art, fashion and music capital that moves faster than you can plan for.
Yoruba is the language of the land here, layered with Nigerian Pidgin, which everyone speaks and which is its own language of wit. Lagos parties are their own discipline, Nigerian cooking is a matter of national pride, and the confidence of the city is infectious.

I take travelers to the galleries, the kitchens and the music Lagos is actually built on. Seven years, most of it in Victoria Island and Yaba.
