Trailer for Jibola: The New Nigerian Sound

  • Somma Okirie
  • Ajibola Oduwole

Since I can remember I have always been a big Afrobeat fan. I decided to do a documentary on the effect Nigerian Afrobeats and Nigerian Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti has had on the modern generation of artists and musicians. Its centred on Jibola Oduwole, a born and bred Nigerian in the Uk, his take, experiences and influences on his own musical journey.   I compare and highlight different aspects of music making in Nigeria, from the political perspective, the cultural perspective and personal perspective of Jibola. I also speak to a young, Nigerian Producer, Hyphen. He gives a brief breakdown on the state of the music scene and how he feels it could improve in the next couple years. Enjoy!
