We’re going to the cinemas thanks to Nigerian film maker Andy Amadi Okoroafor’s “Relentless”- the movie stars Jimmy Jean Louis, Gideon Okeke and musician/singer Nneka Egbuna.  According to Okoroafor it is “a haunting story about loneliness, love and self-discovery that explores Africa’s throbbing megacity Lagos, and the effects of war and loss.” 

I was privileged to have seen Relentless at the maiden edition of the  African International Film Festival in Port Harcourt earlier this month and i must say i was highly impressed. It’s the ultimate Lagos movie, a well executed arthouse piece of cinematic beauty. 

The soundtrack also features Tony Allen, Oranmiyan,  Nneka, General Pype & Keziah Jones

Backstage images from Felabration 2010 right before Adesiji & i hit the stage with my 10 piece band. Our performance went well we all left the building with one hell of a grin. It’s been quite an intense 2 days with little sleep. Shows run from 5pm till about 5 am with an average crowd of about 3000 in attendance. It was fun seeing Nneka, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Tony Allen, Siji, Ayetoro, Keziah Jones & Amp Fiddler jam and rock  Afrobeat to new frontiers.
