Lemar (born Lemar Obika, 4 April 1978 in Tottenham, London)

Lemar was born to Nigerian (Ibo) parents, and grew up listening to soul music and R&B and used to sing at home with his brother pretending to be The Jacksons. He was eighteen when he had his first concert at the Junior Jam at the Temple in Tottenham supporting Usher. He gave up an opportunity to study pharmacy at the Cardiff University to pursue a musical career. Lemar had some success supporting Destiny's Child and secured a recording contract. Following this, he released his debut single "Got Me Saying Ooh", which did not chart in the UK Singles Chart. When the record deal fell through due to restructuring at the record label he was signed to, he had to eventually take a job working as an accounts manager at NatWest Bank.

Beyonce Singing Naija anthem!!!

lovers rock is the first collection of new work by sade in eight years. but it's a record that says less about those years gone by than the promise and vitality of the here and now. it's an album that's by turns moving, elegiac and beautiful. like the tender, acoustic guitar-driven first single, by your side, a song about the tensile strength of love, it is music stripped back to its essential elements: voice, melody, and meticulously arranged instrumentation. the result is a record of bare, sometimes startling immediacy.

but then helen folasade adu is a woman who has never had anything to hide. born in ibadan, nigeria and raised in colchester, essex, where she moved at 4 after her english mother separated from her nigerian father, she's spent her life trying to do what feels right, honest and true. because by comparison nothing else has seemed as important. when she was growing up, sade would listen to soul artists like curtis mayfield, donny hathaway......http://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/25.jpghttp://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/24.jpghttp://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/11.jpghttp://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/12.jpghttp://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/05.jpghttp://www.sade.com/sade/biog/thumbs/10.jpg

Le Phillipe, I really enjoyed watching it, it is well payed!:)

Lol, I know btw can you understand the pidgin.. What he says is the truth too...

I actually own the VCD, It;s quite funny and there is some truth to it. But western media have used that clip in many 419 documentary, the most recent being the ABC documentary on Scams. I even read an article on the net it talked about how the song is the anthem of Nigerian yahoo yahoo boys and all. I wans't offended by the article, it was actualy quite funny, seeing the misinterpretation of the Video clip, and how literally it was taken.

But, Nigerina music is improving, Tuface Idibia won an MTV award in Portugal, Eldee is doing pretty good. Afro Hiphop and RnB are really overpowering the other genres present in Nigeria slowly. Nigerian music is transforming!!

Lol, the ABC scams interview went as far as saying 'WE were mougues no more!!!'

Friendsofthecity, you mentioned Seal! He is a great singer, I have all his CD´s at home!:)

A sidenote, he is also married to Germany´s Supermodel "Heidi Klum". They both have two lovely and healthy cute babies/children. In my eyes, they are one of the most dazzling celebrity couples in the world. He is a fantatsic singer with an awesome voice who is famous the world over and she is one of the highest paid and most beautiful supermodels in the world! And above all both seem to be so down-to-earth, too, despite their stardom!

Seal is mad ugly damn how did he get her lmao

Seal is an handsome man despite the lupus.I don't think beauty is all that skin thing but the innard.Anyway,physical beauty fades as one grows older...to a wise person it's likely not the first thing to look for in love!
He's a talented singer,I guess,that was why Heidi Klum was first attracted to him.

Seal is mad ugly damn how did he get her lmaobecause u don't like him!

Seal is mad ugly damn how did he get her lmao

Is there someone jealous, come on Seal is a handsome and above all charismatic guy, I could tell you that many German young women would love to swap sides with Heidi if they could!

And above all beauty is all a matter of taste and inner qualities is what counts outward appearance shrivels faster than a rose!

all i'm sayin is d guys got game

Yes!I remember one thing,Sade.Where's Sade Ade,the soul music songprincess?She was the first Nigerian to have gotten a grammy.

Name: Lagbaja

Song Title: Dream Come True

Lagbaja (born Bisade Ologunde in Lagos) is a Nigerian Afrobeat musician.
Name and mask

According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s facelessness. Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means somebody, nobody, anybody or everybody. It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”. The mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa. He is also known as "Omo baba mu'ko mu'ko"

Style of music

Though the concept was developed long before that, his first album (entitled Lagbaja) was released to national acclaim in 1993. Over the years and more albums later, the music continues to fascinate with its unique focus on a core of African drums. His music is a product of various influences ranging from traditional Yoruba music to Jazz. Often the music is purely instrumental- an interplay between traditional Yoruba percussions, drums, chants, and western instruments, especially the saxophone. When there are lyrics, they are primarily sung in Yoruba, English or a blend of the two as is colloquially spoken in Yoruba cities. Many of his songs dwell on serious social issues, while others simply entertain. Some are dance inducing while others pass serious messages in humorous ways.

One thing that links all the songs together is his use of traditional African drums. Traditional Yoruba drums are the most prominent. Four families of these drums are employed in creating different grooves and moods. The dundun/gangan family is the most prominent and at times up to five drummers combine all the various components to create the polyrhythms. The bata ensemble is led by two musicians who alternate between soft high toned driving rhythms with their omele bata, and thunderous loud talk with their mum drum- iya ilu. The general percussionist leads the sakara ensemble. The fourth family, used as the backbone of the groove is the ogido, a derivative of the ancient gbedu. The ensemble of drummers constitute the larger part of the band. Vocalists and western instrumentalists make up the rest. Lagbaja’s groovy fusion has been referred to as afrojazz, afrobeat, higherlife and afropop until now that he himself has christened the music AFRICANO, alluding mostly to the central role of African drums and grooves in his music.

In March 1997, Lagbaja established his club, Motherlan’ in the heart of Ikeja in Lagos. Motherlan’s design is influenced by the traditional African town or market square, where people gather under the moonlight for ceremonies and artistic events like dance, music, story telling, wrestling etc.

Nigeria music is getting there. Just a few more years and I would love to see how they impact the global music scene.

Artists like Akon have shown the world the talent that Africa has to offer, and there are a lot more out there, its just a socio economic hindrance that they are not up there yet.
