Adedamola Oyinlola Adefolahan, the Nigerian music star, who is popularly known as Fireboy DML has revealed how Lagbaja remained masked up even when he recorded one of his new songs, back n forth with him in the same studio.
Firebody DML made this known while responding to his experience working with the multi-instrumentalist, composer and performer.
“You would not believe this: [Lagbaja] was masked up in the studio. It was crazy—I did not get to see his face. I had a few interesting thoughts; I wanted to ask him if I could see his face! But you know, all that matters is that we made the music.
“That’s what makes Lagbaja, Lagbaja. You know, “lagbaja,” where I’m from, in the Yoruba language, means like, “Mr Nobody,” an anonymous person; so it’s only right that I do not get to see his face.
He continued saying, “I’m glad he got to be on the record—a special person, a special artist, a special record. That’s a special record, right there. It means a lot to me getting a legend like Lagbaja on that record, in [the] time that we are in now.
“One major theme around the album is nostalgia—there’s this nostalgic feeling when you listen to the album, so it’s only right that I employed my legends in the game to help me push this message. Right from the very beginning, I knew this record was special, and I could not wait for everyone to listen to it.”
