Oluseyi Solagbade, known for his unique brand of
futuristic music, has finally dropped his much awaited album, Bamijo (Dance
With Me). The Afro Gospel album, released after his USA tour in December 2012,
is a 12 tracker with heavy percussive idioms presented under free style wind
and string instrumentation.
According to the leader of the
Black Face band, “The new album is a result of God’s intervention in my life.
It is simply an invitation for people to come rejoice with me because I was
once blind and now can see.”
The inspirational Bamijo is the
fourth album from the easy going artiste who believes in originality and
creativity. It came after Matuwo, Black face and No King As God.
Oluseyi revealed that he is
working diligently on the video for the title track, Bamijo even as had shot
some of it in his just concluded USA tour and it would be produced by Seyi
Amuwa.
The video of ‘Ire’ and ‘Orin’,

Oluseyi has, in the past 20 years;
succeed in creating a brand of afro inspirational beat that is different from
Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
He explains further: “My music is
a fusion of different genre of music in Africa. I can conveniently say it is
what we call pandiatonism, a combination of chords. So am just using that idea
to create new kind of music style. To me, originality is a basic phenomenal;
when your music is original your art will definitely be a futuristic one.”
In the same vein, his monthly
gig, ‘Art Café with Oluseyi’, is billed to resume very soon in collaboration
the French Cultural Centre.
The inspirational groove that
will serve as ‘hypnotherapy’ to everyone is a platform to promote authentic
music in all artistic forms.
“My fans should expect Afro
Gospel instead of Afro Palongo that they are used to. I am stepping up with
another trend of music so as to get across to everyone especially the youth,”
Oluseyi explained.
