Holler hive open mic community👋, Happy new month y'all, welcome to my favourite month of the year (June) which happens to be my birth month, June 30th is my birthday to be precise and I'm so excited about it😉.
For this week's theme "Tradición Local" which translates to Local Tradition in English, I'd be performing a song by Nigerian Afro-pop singer "Jaywillz" called Medicine. I chose this song cause I'm Nigerian and Afro-pop,Afro-beats is the major sound in our music today and I'm also African. Afro-beats is an umbrella term used to describe popular music from West Africa and the diaspora,that initially developed in Nigeria,Ghana and quite recently in the UK(2000's and 2010's).
Afrobeats is primarily produced in Lagos, Accra and London.
I chose the song Medicine by "Jaywillz" because it's an absolutely beautiful love song, really groovy,well written and danceable too.
The song basically talks about a lover who doesn't wanna lose his love interest, because she is everything to him. Some part of the lyric says
"Cause you my medicine girl
(I don't wanna lose you, l don't wanna)
'Cause you my remedy oh
(I don't wanna lose you, l don't wanna)
This song is sung in English mixed with vernacular with some Nigerian slangs embedded in it. It is worthy of note that Afrobeats is not the same as Afrobeat, I do hope you enjoy my cover of this beautiful love song by Jaywillz, see y'all in week #113😉
🤍 & 💡.
