A unique blend of Yoruba folk rhythms and the urban sounds of Nigeria
Bio / Background
"One of the best things to have happened to contemporary music in Nigeria... a rare creator of rich sounds and a gifted performer."
(Steve Ayorinde, The Punch, January 21, 2005)
"Nigeria's King of Melody!"
(Chux Ohai, National Mirror, September 1, 2006)
Lush vocals, evocative drumming, robust horns and a tight arrangement define this, the fourth music album by Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band. Complete with the occasional whistle or hiss, this full vintage analogue recording lays out the bare, beautiful soul of a supremely gifted artist in 14 original songs.
Should you get up and dance? Should you sit down and listen? Whichever you choose, it is impossible to miss the deep messages in these songs. Beautiful Nubia asks all of us to search within ourselves to find the human spirit that is the essence of us all. He asks us to look beyond faith and gender, beyond face and colour, to make an effort to spread love, joy and understanding wherever we go or live.
