I used to visit here back when my grandma lived here before she lost her house in a fire. It’s so intriguing living on a floating village. The smoke filled air seem to never disappear, it left a constant fog of smoked fish and burnt woods. My dad and his siblings grew up on this floating village, he worked so hard to leave that life behind and moved to the city where he made himself a family Yet ever so often, whenever I stare at the floating village in the distance every-time I pass on the 3rd mainland bridge, it feels like a part of me is still there. Maybe one day I’ll finally go back to visit but I know for sure the floating village is part of my history.
Wonderful story! I Appreciate these words in a way that you may not be able to imagine! My daughter visited a village similar to this one during her internship in Western Africa and when she told me about these floating villages it struck me DEEPLY and I’ve thought of them since but never matched my idea with the truth of what it’s like to be there. One Love from Northern California, USA!!
Congratulations Shirley to you and the band for a tremendous debut album and this debut video set in a most notorious part of Lagos and for showcasing a mostly "unseen" side of life in Lagos, Africa's most populous city, with it's own "hidden" beauty!!... Aaagh... To end the video, my favourite track on the album.. "Age of Ascent"... An Afro-Jazz masterpiece!!!
As all before a great sound a cry for humanity for african Ubuntu, the last hope for this century, if hunger, pain, injustice, stupid wars of the rich and mighty, destroy for profit the whole earth, the climate, nature and the home of the honest people. That gives me force and truth to fight what we are living for! Thank you all! ❤️🌹🌞🌻🤗😎
Congratulations on a great artistic work of mood and groove. I saw this on a TH-cam ad and I heard how well-recorded the instruments were and so I kept watching. The drum groove hooked me and then I realised this was a professional film, beautifully shot and portrayed.
Esse video clipe é uma obra prima, eu me sinto muito, mas muito orgulhoso mesmo de ser preto, pois aqui no Brasil, somos a população com mais negros fora da Africa. Nosso povo tão lindo e resistente que chegou até aqui, depois de tanta opressão, e continuamos sofrendo, depois de tanto tempo e ainda nos dias de hoje, apesar de tudo... continuamos firmes e em pé e esse clipe demostrando toda nossa vida e o nosso amor, isso é lindo demais!!!
J’ai eu la chance de vous découvrir au festival de jazz de Montreal cet été et vraiment merci et merci pour ce clip d’une beauté infini qui rend honneur à votre art musical
Such a tremendous visual experience to accompany the already excellent musical piece. This was a beautiful part-narrative, part-documentary into the joyous struggle that is the life of people who live on the coastal shantytown of Lagos? Nigeria (I hope I got that right).
Des morceaux de vie magnifiquement capturés. Il n'y avait clairement pas mieux pour mettre en image votre si belle musique. Merci à vous pour ce visuel et votre musique. J'ai vraiment hâte de vous voir en concert !
Cada compas 🎵 vibra consciencia ; Gracias por Estar ❤; muchas Gracias; Bendiciones a sus Dones ; estoy encariñado con Ustedes desde la primera vez que los escuche.
Music is dope and the cinematography is amazing.
I’m crying right now- what an incredible experience I just had watching this film! What a blessing it is!! THANK YOU!!!
