South by Southwest was started in nineteen eighty-seven to bring attention to Texas musicians like Bob Schneider. Now it includes performers from around the world. This year, six hundred forty-two acts from fifty-nine countries were invited to perform. Nneka from Nigeria was one of them. Here she sings “Walking.”

Musicians and fans at South by Southwest were looking forward to a reunion concert by the nineteen seventies band Big Star. Sadly, its leader Alex Chilton died of a heart attack on the first day of the music festival. The remaining members of the band played a set with some other musicians as a benefit for Chilton’s family.
Here is the original Big Star with “September Gurls.”
