She released her first full-length album in 2017 when she returned to Nigeria. Collaborations with top African musicians, tours within Nigeria, and in South Africa, USA and Canada, and a string of singles followed. Blessing Tangban now resides in Dartmouth and will be joined in this special, International Women’s Day concert by Joella Foulds and Billie Yvette Rogers.
