TRIBAL LANGUAGE SHOULD NOT CAUSE A DIVISION IN THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF MUSIC

Did we understand Awilo Logomba or Fali Ipupa when they were serenading us with their makossa beats in their incomprehensible African languages?

Yet, we appreciated them.

Na Naija carry dia music for head pass.

As for Àṣàkẹ́'s beats, they fall under one sub-genre of afrobeats which is amapiano with a different melody and pitch all of the time.

His messages are happy and feel good.

His singing and chanting styles of call and response are his logos.

Àṣàkẹ́ lost the Best New International award to Cameroonian star, Libianca.

Fans of Libianca say she sings in the English language is the reason why she won the award. 😏😒

I have a feeling that this opinion rubbed off on the BET award academy too.

They say they do not understand Yorùbá but they will spend millions to go and learn Mandarin in China.

You rate Swahili over Yorùbá.

Ọna no dey alright rárá!

Yorùbá to the world!!!

Just because of the popularity of Nigerian music in Yorùbá, the world will start paying Yorùbá teachers to learn this beautiful language.

I am proud of you, Asake. Keep doing what you do.

I love your style of music. 💓

Musically Yours,
