Alté-Going another direction

Alté is a collection of poems.

as TeeZee explains, the term has deep roots. "Alté is Nigerian lingo for ‘alternative’ which means freedom of expression essentially through any medium. It’s been going on since the '60s as Africans always experimented with music. It became recognised as a style or genre from about 2012 upwards and it broke into the mainstream in 2016 with the rise of its new stars."
