AFRI-TUNES WEEK #69 || UYO MEYO BY TENI || Cover By Wealthwess

Hello Everyone! Happy new week, I hope everyone is doing good today? That said, I welcome everyone to Afritunes week 69. It’s another new week to build on the momentum of previous weeks. Therefore, i’ll be performing a cover of a song by TENI a multi-talented Nigerian artiste, the title of the song is UYO MEYO

Why i chose this song is discussed below, but first what is “Uyo Meyo”?

The Meaning Of UYO MEYO & It’s Impact In Nigerian Music Industry

“Uyo Meyo” is a Traditional dialect for the ONDO natives, Ondo is a state in Nigeria. Uyo Meyo talks about rejoicing and happiness, Uyo meyo leun o san o kan mi o e literally means the way i celebrate or rejoice with other people, it’s my turn to be celebrated’

Uyo Meyo was released in the summer of 2018 and has over 3.5Millions views on YouTube with the Official Music Video. The song was Voted as the overall Best Recording Of The Year 2018 at the Nigerian Headies Award

Why i chose to perform Uyo Meyo?

I think it’s obvious, judging from the lyrics and title of the song. I believe everyone wishes to be celebrated in one way or the other be it at work, at school, at home, in your business or any other places best known to you. It is really good celebrating the people i cared about, just like a friend of mine that recently got a good job offer from Kyosk a company in Nigeria. My belief is that if i am celebrating people/friends with good hearts then the faster i’d be celebrated also.

Having said that, let’s dive into my presentation, and i hope you enjoy!
