Nigerian musician Eclipse Nkasi has created a virtual singer powered by artificial intelligence.

He says the fact that AI is in its infancy in Africa may be a boon for the continent.

But there are concerns about how African music and cultural heritage will be affected by the use of AI .

Many African artists and industry professionals are excited about possibilities this emerging technology offers.

Nigerian musician: "The limits we Africans experience with AI can be a good thing" His company Josplay uses AI models to collate detailed metadata and intelligence to create archives of African music.

There is a growing realisation that unless the African music industry embraces the new technology, it is in danger of losing control of its talent and heritage.
