The return of the masked one!
Lagbaja back with new album
Sunday, April 12, 2009

His fans have waited for so long for another album from the masked-one, Lagbaja. And just when they are about giving up hope of hearing from him musically again, especially in the face of unpalatable tales trailing his America sojourn, Lagbaja is set to ‘whao’ us all again with a new album by end of April.

According to a statement released by his publicist, Ayeni Adekunle, the new album, which comes in two CDs, will be officially released in Nigeria before the end of April.

‘‘I’m glad to tell you, brothers and sisters, that our new album is ready’’, Lagbaja said in Lagos this week. ‘‘The world is going through different challenges right now, but the journey continues. We’ll continue to make good music and preach the gospel of Africa to the rest of the world’’.

Lagbaja’s eponymous debut album was released to national acclaim in 1993. He followed with Cest Un African Thing in 1996. In 2000, he did what was hitherto thought impossible when he dropped a three-in-one album titled ME, WE and ABAMI respectively. The simultaneous three-part release further enriched his repertoire of hits and timeless pieces, endeared him to even more critics, and won him a million-and-one converts. His most recent album – Africano… the mother of groove- was released to critical acclaim in 2005.

Once again, Lagbaja is releasing more than one album simultaneously. ‘‘We have two CDs coming out this time. Our fans deserve it, especially having waited for this long’’, he said. A third, the long-anticipated Africano Party (now remixed) will follow later in the year.

Wow, music in Nigeria and africa is about to get another facelift! Has anyone noticed the trend that this guy releases an album every 4/5 years? Each time he releases an album, the songs manage to stay in the airwaves and people never seem to get tired of them till the next one comes out.

Lagbaja is fast becoming a phenomenon and a legend. I guess we can only wait to see what he's got for us this time around

Where in the video was he wivout a mask?

In the video those twins aren't they 'Taiwo n Kenny' of 'Twin - X' or 'Twin - AX'

I really don't care what he looks like, really. . . , its his music I'm into. . . .and that's about it. . . .i love the mystery about him as well!!

He has paved the way for most of the nice younger artistes today. . . .He's an ICON!!

I can't wait for this. . .Before the end of April? I haven't heard any of his singles yet. I hope it's as hilarious and enjoyable as his other albums, hopefully a tad better.

It will be boring as usual.Can anyone tell me why he hasn't uncovered his face.Anyway moonstöne i love ur nickname

Thank you EbeleAmobi.
It's the element of mystery. Apparently he's really shy behind the mask. It's a good thing though. I think everyone else is tired of speculating, though.

See fine bobo. I'd date that
