Two veterans from the old and new generation have taken center stage
to remix a classic song from the early 1960’s. Coming together was the
iconic Dr. Victor Abimbola Olaiya and the energetic 2face Idibia who
performed a song from Dr. Olaiya’s early collection “Mofe Muyan,” now
christened “Baby Mi Da.”
Spellz produced the remixed song, and
Nollywood’s finest, Director Kunle Afolayan of “The Figurine” fame, made
this his music video debut.
Premier Records ltd, the label under
which Dr. Olaiya is signed, sees the collaboration as a way of uniting
musicians from different generations; it is also provides a cultural
background and timelessness.
“It is pertinent that we bring back
to the music industry what made Dr. Victor Olaiya internationally
known,” said Michael Odiong, Project Manager of the Premier Records.
“His lyrics are still very relevant today, and he has so many tracks
like ‘Ilu Le O’ and ‘Mr Judge’ that have an impact on people everywhere,
and his classic love songs like ‘Omo pupa’ ‘Fami Mora O’ will withstand
the test of time any day. We want to encourage younger stars to take
advantage of these classic songs and do something new with them.”
At
the video shoot, veteran producer/director, Mr. Tunde Kelani, and Navio
from Namibia were on hand at the Stadium Hotel to support the team.
