Ah, Spotify! Doing the Lord’s work and recommending songs from my childhood. This time it’s Konko Below and I get on down the way I know how.
Listening to Lagbaja’s Konko Below fills me with nostalgia and brings back memories of my carefree early years — dancing awkwardly and screaming the tune at the top of my lungs with childhood exuberance.
It thumps heavily on my JBL headphones now, and I go through the same old motions.
“Omoge campus Je’n r’owo e loke” he sings. It’s like a call to move your body and forget your worries as you lose yourself in the groove of his music.
Suddenly, those problems don’t seem to matter at the moment. You’re in the world he has carefully crafted with his music. The spirituality of his instrumentals feed your soul.
“Konko Below” — a masterpiece made by an obscure artiste ahead of his time.
