VIDEO DETAILS
In the Yoruba (Western Nigeria) language, the word "Ifé" means love. The song whose video you are watching, "Ifé", was recorded sometime in 2005 and it later appeared on my 2006 debut full length album Unexpected Pleasures. Since the song was released, I have written and recorded several new material, and since my favorite song tends to be the latest one, Ife has slowly falling into the ranks of just another song, or child as I like call them, in my growing catalog.
One cold evening in early December 2008, I received an e-mail from a gentle man by the name of , Ayoola Daramola. He introduced himself as Nigeria video director who was very much interested in shooting a video for the song. Upon speaking to Ayoola, his inviting spirit, and passion for video making and music was reason enough to go ahead with his vision for the video. We met a few days later at his home studio in Maryland, and we shot about 2 hours of footage. That was my last meeting before the conception of this video. It's a small world indeed, the family who appears in the video are Ayoola's friends who just happen to be cousins of mine. Which ever way you look at it, Ayoola revived this song, with the heart of color and motion pictures he breathed a new life into a song I had almost forgotten. They say bad new travel fast, and that theory have been proven more true in this digital age. This is some good new accompanied by inspirational visual I look that would like to see travel even further.
