Details:
“Modern African Music With Meaningâ€
Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band follow up their highly successful ''Awilele'' album with this collection of fun-filled, reflective and educative 16 tracks of pulsating neo-traditional music. Fèrè once again showcases BN’s unique modern African music with meaning.
Blending rhythms and melodies from the folk traditions of his Yoruba culture with personal influences, singer/songwriter and bandleader, Beautiful Nubia has created an original form of music that defies classification. Performed in both English and Yoruba, his songs are loaded with universal social and political messages, complemented by soulful vocals and dexterous performances by his fourteen-member band.
''Jangbalajugbu'', his biggest-selling effort to date has sold in excess of half a million copies in his native Nigeria and beyond. The follow up, ''Awilele'' continues to open new vistas and ''Fèrè'' has come to complete a must-have trilogy for anyone interested in new African music. The "new" part is not entirely true though. Beautiful Nubia''s music is both new and old - ancient in its melodies and rhythms but forward-looking in philosophy. And YOU should be listening!
Born in Ibadan, Nigeria, Beautiful Nubia picked up interest in music and literature very early. At the age of nine, he wrote his first song and has since penned over 700 original songs. He has shared his music with audiences in several countries, including Nigeria, Canada, Zimbabwe, South Africa, the US, and the UK.
