I can't seem to digest all the information at once but I find something essential in it that brymo wasn't just an artist but a genius, he used his song to represent his ideal and that what makes him different from famous or recognised afrobeat artist,his song offer not just a philosophical,moral undertones and cultural representation of indigenous language (Yoruba)but also offers a social commentary and also 'how to live "not "how we live" this is so thought-provoking
I didn't know about brymo until recently in the course of my literary journey,when our lecturer asks us to write a criticism on two selected poem of brymo, although I haven't done a music video criticism before,I know it will be worthwhile to state with brymo song which I found not just uplifting and intriguing but also speaks to those who choose to appreciate authenticity and genuity.
So,I decided to began my research on brymo and his music just to have a better understanding regarding the artist and your essay popped out during the cost of my research, though it was a lot to take in but also beneficial.
I've been spurred to read this now—a neighbour played some of his songs while we sat together and I asked for the name of the artist. This will serve as a good quick introduction. I've always heard the name and the 'Ara n be' song (that I never connected name) but I never bothered to check.
You've stopped listening (for a reason I'm itching to interrogate you about—I have restraint) and I'll start.
Good piece. I disagree with your statement about realisation of meaninglessness and the 'end of life', but that is a whole other conversation.
Very beautifully written.
