A video showcasing the remarkable journey of Nigerian Afrobeat singer Ahmed Ololade Asake has sparked significant reactions online.
In the video, Asake performs a rendition of the beloved Yoruba song “Owuro Lojo,” originally by Beautiful Nubia, blending it with vibrant dance moves that highlight Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
Asake’s performance is captivating, seamlessly blending modern dance elements with traditional Yoruba steps while playing the local drum ‘Bata’ to set the rhythm.
“Owuro Lojo,” translating to “Morning Dew,” is cherished for its meaningful lyrics and melodious tune, championed by Beautiful Nubia in promoting Yoruba culture through music.
Asake’s tribute to this classic song earned him applause from fans, celebrating his creativity and dedication to promoting tradition through his artistry.
As one of the Gen Z singers making waves globally, Asake’s chart-topping songs and electrifying performances solidify his position as a prominent representative of Nigerian music on the world stage. His fusion of uptempo Afro and Amapiano-styled production, coupled with singing in Yoruba and incorporating slang, adds a unique flavor to his music, often likened to Fuji, while his use of backing vocals further enriches his musical style.
