Ìbà by Temidayo Balogun + AKÉDE is a sonic illustration of past and present realities from an African lens. The whole journey of getting to the final product of this album was more awakening than I imagined. Most especially, the sonic designing brought about a different type of spiritual consciousness towards the ancient African practices with a deep sense of connection in the present days struggle for the survival of the African people.
