Akin Brown out with new song

Fast rising artiste, Akin Brown, has released a new body of work, ‘Oye mí’, ‘Oye mi’ which means ‘I understand in English’ is a neo-traditional folk song, borne out of the need to tell and retell the story of yearnings of man and karma.

According to the artiste, “it’s borne out of the need to revive traditional African story telling in a context we can relate to now. Storytelling takes you on a journey that inspires you to learn more about yourself, about the world around you.

“While writing this song, I employed sonic elements that is fantastically familiar to our taste buds now to retell a classic tale in a refreshing manner without loosing it’s very ancient ‘feel/essense’. Lyrically, it’s the push and pull of this unstable relationship between the bright guitar melody and dark harmonious overtones that draws you into the song. This way I surmise, we can continue the culture of oral traditions of years before our forebears with sounds that reflects social values that’ll motivate people in their pursuit of a meaningful life across cultural divide. In hopes it’ll hasten the much needed social change we envisage in this generation”.
