Mr Money with the Vibe, the first studio album of Asake which over time became his mantra is one that I've heard multiple times across the street of Nigeria.
Asake has always been a versatile artist. One that can have the same fast paced vibe of Burna Boy and then the slow paced retro vibe of Wizkid.
I always knew he was a good artist, but I didn't listen to him much, nor know he had such a loaded discography.
At least not until I saw this yesterday...
I'm a simple man.. I like what I like..
Et al Seki, 2026
And I have to say that I loved this show. The performance was beautiful. The execution was marvelous and the music was just magical.
One hour and nineteen minutes of vibes and fun and you can see it radiate on everyone. The crowd, the guest artists, the instrumentalists and Asake himself.
I watched the performance yesterday, and I have to say that close to 24 hours later, I'm still feeling the vibes.
So we have new tunes for you all today all from the Red Bull Symphonic!
This is one song of Asake that I did actually know of before hearing it again in the symphonic.
I remember it being such a blast and Burna's part just being crazy.
It was a shame that Burna didn't show in the symphonic but still, the performance by Asake was crazy.
The screams at this part was incredible, most likely because Wizkid showed up but I'd like to believe it's because of how beautiful the song was and just how great their voices rhymed for it.
Yes, clearly they used auto tune but the dynamic, the vybes and the flows, you'd know that these are two artists who genuinely love working together.
This was the ending song of the event and it was the one where everybody had the most fun.
A fast tracked song from his first album. One that made waves throughout Nigeria and now, I'm sure it's in the head of a few New Yorkers too๐โจโค๏ธ
This Red Bull Symphonic concert with Asake really made my day yesterday as I've begun to lose faith with Nigeria as a country.
Everyday we learn more and more of how our government leaders are failing us, how we are backwards in so many things is no longer a shock, no longer a joke at international lobbies/chats, but more of a means of pity and contempt.
Regardless, if all we have is music, we can boast that it's one of, if not the best in the world๐โค๏ธ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฌ
These are what I've chosen for #threetunestuesday..
So my fellow readers/listeners...
