Global artist, Tunde Baiyewu’s new EP delves into his love for music, particularly inspired by the 1970s troubadour era.
Lighthouse Family band member, Tunde Baiyewu recently released an exciting new solo project that features some of South Africa’s most revered musical talents.
“After making that album, I just parked it, I didn’t know what else to do with it, then strangely, out of the blue, a friend in South Africa reached out and asked if I fancied doing some collaborations with South African artists, that is when the idea kind of came to life.” Baiyewu, who grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, said he had started communicating with various artists and listening to their music. Eventually, he settled on artists that he felt “had the spirit of The Troubadours” in them.
With a history of successful solo projects, the artist had long considered collaborations with South African musicians but practical challenges had kept the dream on hold. “When you're in a band, things like that become a little bit more complicated because everybody has to agree to it. “I also encouraged them to sing in their native tongue. So when the stuff came back and we mixed it, I was like a kid in a sweets shop, it was like I was hearing something for the first time that really excited me and I am hoping that’s the same reaction people will get when they hear these songs.”“I love all the songs. I curated all the songs on the album because I loved all these songs.
