about

Adédèjì's homage to the Great One:
Custodian of daybreak, setting of sun;
The four corners of the earth herein join
In this serious endeavour wrapped in fun.

Perfect imperfection or imperfect perfection; the number 7 adorns one of the garbs and manifests itself as introduced by Rodrigo Rodriguez (reputable Colombian Swiss percussionist and producer). Quickly complemented by the host's percussive guitar and vocal panegyrics to the subject matter.
Immediately followed by the melancholic approach to the piano by 'Digba Timothy Ogunbiyi (American based Nigerian Jazz pianist); a long time collaborator of Adédèjì, Yoel Soto (Cuban poet and composer) eases in dragging with him Michael Oloyede Drums (Berkeley product and a brain behind the Native Brains; Lagos, Nigeria based Afro Jazz group).
Every cast on stage went on to give a splendid account of themselves.

With Mojúbà, literally translated "I Pay Homage" Adédèjì has made use of his arsenal of weapons, voice and guitars (in no particular order) to reverence the person and extol the virtues of the Almighty.

Of note is Digba's eclectic synth solo, it was a potpourri of genres that got dramatic and prepared the listening audience for the oncoming tour de force.
A collective improvisation that had all the characters coming on stage at once to take a bow and have Rodrigo bring us back to base.

Marking the end of the song and kickstarting the beginning of Adedeji’s new project, The Africa Jazz Experiment loosely titled "AJÉ": in which he promises to feature musicians from different parts of the world, playing originals and re arrangements of musics in their remote places. That will suffice well until and most likely after the whole pandemic is over and maybe we can have fun playing together again.
