World music

Naïka is a World music act. Their sound grew out of Bob Marley, Miriam Makeba, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Britney Spears and Destiny's Child. Those roots explain a lot about how Naïka arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Aya Nakamura, FLO, Lolo Zouaï, Mahalia and Zaho, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Michael Bolton and Young T & Bugsey, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Naïka, reaching back through Bob Marley and forward to Michael Bolton.
