After about one-year hiatus, one
of Nigeria’s foremost reggae stars, African China, has returned with two new
singles entitled “Boko Haram” and “Gen Gen.”
Aside currently burning the
airwaves across the nation, the great works are also trending and being
celebrated on various social media platforms.
Perturbed by the series of
bombings, insecurity and other social misdemeanors in the nation, one of the
songs, “Boko Haram,” according to the songbird was composed-in his usual
way-to address the sect’s restlessness, and possibly draw attention of the
government on the need to curb the ugly situation.
“I’m saddened that some groups of
people are constantly maiming our Christian brothers with impunity. Why
should we continue to fold our hands and watch thousands of Nigerians, especially
from the eastern part of the nation being lynched and sent to their early
graves? The government needs to rise to this challenge. So in my usual way of
creating awareness on salient and critical issues, the new song-“Boko
Haram”-addresses the Boko Haram menace while “Gen Gen” is a club banger,” the
Mr. President crooner avowed.
China who spoke during a recent
courtesy visit to the Isolo corporate head office of Entertainment/Sunday
Express, averred that plans were already
in motion to shoot videos of the new singles.
“I’m here again to make a
statement with my kind of songs. I’ve done it before; I’ve done it again and
I will keep doing it,” he boasted.
With hit songs such as “London
Fever”, “Mr. President” and “Crisis,” among others, African China took ghetto
music, a blend of reggae and afrobeat, to great heights. Read his full
interview soon, in Entertainment Express, as the “If You Love
Somebody” singer speaks about his past, present, and plans for the future.
