Oluwafemi Akinbodunwa, also known as Femislide, is an award-winning international afro-fusion musician.
He was born in 1978 in Musin, Lagos, Nigeria.
He is a trombonist, trumpeter, songwriter and vocalist.
Femislide performs jazz, afro-funk and highlife genres of music.
He has been making and performing music for the past twenty-three years.
His role models in the music sector of the entertainment industry are; the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the late Haruna Isola and King Sunny Ade.
He has recorded and or performed music with different musicians such as; Seyi Solagbade, Blackface, Lagbaja, Jesse King, Charly Boy, Waje, 2Baba Idibia, MI, Yolanda Brown, Mike Aremu, etc.
Four songs from his EP are;
- Mari Jo
- Ife
- Teacher
- The Rich Also Cry
These four songs have great lyrical compositions, meaningful messages, sweet melody, vocal dexterity, sound balance and are professionally performed.
I thoroughly enjoyed these songs and cannot say which is my best.
However, in Teacher, I expected to hear Tai Solarin's name as one of the teachers mentioned. I think that he was a prolific, prominent and outstanding teacher during his lifetime. Albeit, the ommission of his name does not in any way take away from the quality and beauty of that song.
I rate these four songs 10/10.
Indeed Femislide is not joking with his musical career at all.
