́Afro fusion band, BANTU, has announced the release of the official video to ‘Ká Máa Dúpẹ́’, the second single off their critically acclaimed album Agberos International.
Shot in the ancient city of Abeokuta with everyday people interacting with BANTU’s lead female vocalist and other band members, this life-affirming song celebrates the ability of the human spirit to triumph despite the odds.
Directed by Olasunkanmi Adebayo, the 4:03 minutes video is a call to positivity “come rain come shine”.
The opening line of the first verse sets the tone as BANTU readily admits how difficult it is to be optimistic when it feels like the world is constantly crushing down on you.
Themes of loneliness and vulnerability are openly addressed alongside remedial themes of gratitude and resistance as the band shares member personal stories.
The final verse, sung in Yoruba, is used to invoke the beauty of the language and its deeply positive proverbs and adages that connect to the song’s title which, translated into English, means “let us be thankful”.
Agberos International was released in 2017.
The first video from the album, ‘Lagos Barbie’, was released in October last year.
