I was listening to Yemi Alade’s Tangerine and after
hearing her holler Kerewa wa a few times, I
thought to myself… why don’t we bring these
n****s in a throwback.
The endearing thing about this Kerewa song, would
be it’s undulating beats and sordid lyrics that didn’t
spare them a ban from the NBC when it’s gavel fell
hard in verdict. Regardless, the video tells a
sinuous story laid out in the lyrics while showing
their traditional music showmanship in a dance
craft as well as the culture of their local roots (Tiv,
Benue State Nigeria).
Micheal Aboh and Al-Hassan Ibrahim (the Zule Zoo
brothers) have long shelved their music aspirations
and moved on to other events that offer them
human satisfaction.
Reboot yourself and enjoy this one!
