Lagos got its name from sailors who saw lakes and wrote it down, but the city kept answering to Eko anyway. Two voices trade lines across danfo queues, Balogun Market prices and owambe spraying, before dropping to half-time for Badagry, the returnees who built the Brazilian Quarter, and a treaty signed over an island.

L74 The Local Anthems Afrobeats / Afrobeat Fusion

The Lagoon Kept The Name

Style

Fast Afrobeats fused with classic Afrobeat at 126 BPM, driven by talking drum, shekere, congas and cowbell under funk guitar, sax and trumpet riffs, sung by equal male and female co-leads trading lines in a bright Lagos Nigerian English and Pidgin accent.
