The Story
Lagos is like a mosquito. It will bite you. It will enter your blood and give you fever. If you break, you are out. But if you hold on, it will shape you and give you wings.
In the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War, a reunited nation turned to the high-energy vibrance of highlife music to recover from the drumbeat of conflict. Now, with the world reeling from the long effects of COVID, economic upheavals, and political cynicism, Lagos Shuffle invites listeners to revisit the joyous, arpeggiated rhythms of highlife as a balm for the soul.
Each track is a story named after an area of Lagos, weaving the spirit of its people and culture into a tapestry of rhythm and resilience. This is more than music — it's a metaphor for survival, for progress, for never-say-die.
