Nigerian Musician Jazzman Olofin to thrill BBA fans
Jazzman Olofin, a Nigerian music star will on Sunday 23rd September, perform at the eviction show of the Big Brother Africa(BBA) II, in South Africa.
Jazzman’s style of music is a mix of many different genres juju, Fuji, Afro beat, highlife and funk, laced with a little hip-hop.
His lyrics, which include Yoruba, English and Pidgin are delivered in a freestyle rap.
He started his professional music career as one of the members of the R&B group X-Appeal. Their debut “˜Big Men’ was a popular hit and Jazzman went solo in 2002.
The hip hop renaissance in Nigeria has witnessed the emergence of artistes who experiment with a variety of styles and sounds, many of whom attempt to create sub-genres by fusing elements of two or more indigenous music genres together with hip hop.
In fact no artist has yet attempted to do as much as a 5-cut EP of such sounds, the reason being that practitioners are yet to fashion out a fool proof formula for consummating such unions.
All that is about to change though, as a certain Olumuyiwa Olofin kuade is set to do something different, pioneer a new trend and possibly redefine an era.
