Lagbaja’s soul stirring Africano

*From his past albums- Lagbaja (1993), Coolu Temper (1996), to WE, ME and Abami (1999), Lagbaja has always excelled in making music that stirs the soul and also engages the body. Ditto his latest effort, Africano, the mother of groove, the masked musician evolved new sounds and combined elements of pure artistry, Lagbaja has gone one step further- grabbing you by the throat and refusing to let go……The drums, he said are the essence of his music.

*There are enough tracks (12 in all) to placate rabid fans alongside crowd-pleasing collaborations to woo new ones. His distinctive talent for evolving new sound and groove backed by African drums, riffs has coalesced into a compelling prospect in Africano, mother of all groove.

*Africano will touch wherever there is soul. Every home should have one.
