After years of touring with Hugh Masekela’s band, and being exposed to the music of the Crusaders, George Clinton and his band, Parliament Funkadelic (they toured together). Gboyega Adelaja returned to Nigeria and very quickly became a sought-after keyboardist and session musician. Working on several projects with the Lijadu Sisters, Grotto II, Blackman Akeeb Kareem, Emma Dorgu, Shina Williams, Rick Asikpo and the Nyarku Twins (Basabasa) to name a few.
This album is a synthesis of all these experiences. A classy statement of how far he had come and a few indications of what the future holds.
