Neez baby - the man behind the music

nana kwabena baffoe bonnie tuffour neez buck babyThe sound of music is unique in that it resonates freely within the individual long after its waves are captured within the eardrum. As many musicians throughout history have learned to master the art of noise, Nana Kwabena has been dedicated to creating his own sound that distinguishes himself from others while simultaneously making a significant contribution to the larger body of music.

In his high school years, Nana Kwabena began to teach himself the art of creative writing and channeled his talent into becoming a lyricist and performer. At the same time, he was also exposed to the art of turntabilism and became a dj.

Ayetoro - Afrobeat musicians

Ayetoro Funsho Ogundipe Afrobeat Panji Anoff Pidgen MusicI interviewed Wanlov da Kuborlor, a Ghanaian musician recently and one of the African musicians, he said he admired was Ayetoro (actual name is Funsho Ogundipe, Ayetoro is the band/music). He called him a step ahead of Fela. Every Nigerian and their father is in love with Fela Kuti's music so for anyone to say anyone is a step ahead of Fela is a very bold statement.
These were Wanlov's words - "He has all world class musicians in his band, he never plays anything he has recorded, creates new songs for his shows, records them at the show and never plays them again." I want to find out about that too.

Why
Why didn’t you tell me?
That Love had gone and left me
While you looked into my eyes
And said
“Baby let’s try”

Now I
Had thought that Hope was healthy
And Faith was all that held me
From the truth that lover’s lie
But you
Were wiser than I

I want to know
‘fore the memory goes
Did somebody tell you to forget me?
Did you decide alone?
That we would never be one
I need to say
Though you turn me away
That love could have loved you
If you’d let me
But tonight she cries alone
In the morn
Her innocence gone

(Chorus)
Once I heard it told
That Love i
