10 Old school Nigerian musician we are missing out on.

We need to celebrate some old-time Nigerian musicians in the African music industry for having so much creativity at such an early time.

1. LAGBAJA

Who is Lagbaja?

Bisade Ologunde is a Nigerian Afrobeat musician, singer-songwriter, and percussionist. He is widely known as Lágbájá for his signature use of a mask covering his identity. He believes in social reform through music.

Early life and career:

He formed his first small band in 1991 in Lagos after he had taught himself to play the saxophone. With a high quotient of percussion instruments including congas and talking drums Lagbaja's album We Before Me (IndigeDisc/PDSE), released in 2000, demanded honesty from politicians and urged brotherhood and unity. He shared the lyrics of his songs with a backup singer, Ego Ihenacho, and equally plays tenor saxophone. With a firm, brawny tone akin to that of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, he emblazoned the melodies of the songs, sometimes with Ego scat-singing alone.
