Gonto
British/ Nigerian afro-soul artiste, Ibejii, is set to release a new single, ‘Gonto’.
In a statement, Ibejii said the official music video of Gonto, will be released today.
The official music video stars some of Nollywood’s finest – Dakore, Christian Paul, Ruby Akubueze and Emmanuel Osahor.
Gonto was shot live on stage at Terra Kulture Lagos, and features scenes from the yet to be unannounced and highly anticipated movie by Ibejii.
The music video is a fast paced beautifully crafted cinematographic experience, that adds much deserved visual energy to Gonto, one of the most successful singles releases of 2021.
Gonto, an afro-orchestral anthem that takes the listener on a journey that captures the insensitivity of the powerful but also the daring of a new generation of believers, is a June 11, 2021 release of the highly celebrated, British/ Nigerian afro-soul artiste, Ibejii.
A reputed story teller, poet, thinker and romantic, Ibejii’s essence is a fine balance of ‘Taiye Kehin’ , the physical and the transcendent, time worn and timeless.
Ibejii’s sound is a fine blend of African vibes and international sound; a unique blend of storytelling.
Coming off his as yet unannounced 5th project, Gonto recounts the victory of tiny masquerades in the face of a selfish big masquerade that will not let other voices rise. Gonto is Ibejii’s celebration of the ultimate victory of ordinary people over those who oppress and silence us.
