El cantante enmascarado de la banda nigeriana Lagbajá, toma su nombre de una palabra Yoruba que significa alguien, nadie, cualquiera, o todos; para él, perfecta descripción del anonimato del ser común.
En escena, el cantante y líder de la banda, provoca melodiosas notas con el saxofón, y además ofrece un rítmico performance empleando un traje y una máscara que no permite apreciar su verdadero rostro.
La música de Lagbajá ha sido calificada como afrojazz, afrobeat, higherlife y afropop, en varios festivales musicales internacionales. Las canciones son en inglés o yoruba y sus letras reflexionan sobre varios temas sociales.
Quienes asistieron a su concierto, en el FITA, bailaron y hasta corearon la música de esta original banda. Les recomiendo buscar sus canciones en Internet, y si encuentran me las pasan por favor.

Elle compose de l’afropop, musique populaire d’Afrique, dans la lignée de Manu. Son art mélange rumba, makossa, bikutsi, esséwé : un grand cocktail pour faire danser !
Elle parle dans ses textes de l’évolution de l’Afrique… Evoque la situation des migrants… Valorise l’histoire des peuples noirs. Et en premier lieu, elle parle de l’amour solide qui nous unit tous !

Dora is experimenting with new styles to refresh her look. Here she wears a dress and cape-like garment that she designed herself as she listens to one of her favorite songs that she found among Mom's records.
Dora: I love this 'AfroPop' record from 1967 by the South African singer Miriam Makeba, "Pata Pata," which means "touch, touch" in Xhosa. It was a big hit back then. It's got a great dance groove and her voice is so earthy and perfect! Want to hear it?"
Dora puts on Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata":
"...Pata Pata" is the name of a dance we do down Johannesburg way.
And everybody starts to move as soon as "Pata Pata" starts to play
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Every Friday and Saturday night it's "Pata Pata" time
The dance keeps going all night long till the morning sun begins to shine..."
--"Pata Pata" by Miriam Makeba (1967) *I recommend looking it up on YouTube
The Nigerian recording artist, singer, songwriter, and performer Omobolaji Ayanfe Oluwa belongs to the African pop star genre. As a singer, he began his career in Ibadan, where he was born and raised. When he released his first single, "No dulling", he became popular on campus and became well known in Ibadan. In turn, this led him to meet the king of the Fuji Taye currency and sing with him.
His career later took him to Lagos where he met a lot of A-list artistes who recognized his talent and put him on stage and in the year 2020 he recorded Awero with Jaywon, which gained him his first recognition across all platforms and media coverage. Last year, he released his EP titled love, light and star, which led to him touring Europe and the U.K. and gave him his first international recognition.

Youssou Ndour is an international star in the world of Afropop and World Beat. A singer, songwriter, composer, occasional actor, and politician, Rolling Stone described him as “perhaps the most famous singer alive” in Senegal and much of Africa for his “arresting tenor, a supple weapon deployed with prophetic authority”.
Ndour gained recognition since the young age of 14 for his musical talent and was affectionately dubbed Le Petite Prince De Dakar (or The Little Prince of Dakar). By the mid-80’s, he gained international notoriety with his band Super Etoile De Dakar. Ndour’s mix of traditional Senegalese mbalax music with eclectic influences ranging from Cuban rumba to hip hop, jazz and soul won him an international fan base. He has collaborated with some of music’s biggest names like Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman, Wyclef Jean, Sting and Peter Gabriel, further cementing his wide ranging influence and cultural importance.
A winner of the BBC Radio 3 Award for Best African Artist of the 20th Century and Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music, Youssou Ndour and Le Super Etoile De Dakar are an education in and celebration of the complexity and depth of Senegalese music.*
