Hive Open Mic 112 - Traditional: Blow My Mind.

This is another week and I am excited to jump in on this week's theme. For those who haven't, you can also participate here: [🎵 Hive Open Mic 112 - Worldwide Live Music Event]

I decided to go for this song for so many reasons. The first one would be because of the infusion of the local language we call "pidgin" in the song. Nigerians or maybe most Africans are known for this kind of language which makes it indigenous to us. Another reason would be because it talks about deep rooted kind of love which goes to how people used to feel about each other before our modern world. The other reason would be because he is my brother, he is a Nigerian and I would rather promote his song to showcase his creativity than do anything else.

He is a typical traditional singer that sings in pidgin, my native language; Yoruba and of course, English too. This is why this song passed for being a traditional theme because he is one and this song embodies it. Love is a universal language, yes, but what we feel is peculiar to us and personal.

Never seen a girl who’s so nice like you

So good, when you are around
With you, I feel more alive
And you, put a smile on my face

Be my wife and I will be yours.

Thank you for your time.
