Afro-soul artiste, Ibejii, on Friday, June 11, released a new single, ‘Gonto’.
The track is an afro-orchestral anthem that takes the listener on a journey that at once captures the casual insensitivity of the powerful but also the daring of a new generation of believers whose defeat of fear make confrontation inevitable.
A storyteller, poet, thinker and romantic, Ibejii’s essence is a fine balance of ‘Taiye Kehin‘, the physical and the transcendent, timeworn and timeless. Ibejii’s sound is a fine blend of African vibes and international sound, a unique blend of storytelling.
Coming off his as yet unannounced fifth project, ‘Gonto’ recounts the victory of tiny masquerades in the face of a selfish big masquerade that will not let other voices rise.
According to a statement from the artist’s management, the track is his “celebration of the ultimate victory of ordinary people over those who oppress and silence us.”
