ID Cabasa Receives Standing Ovation At Ariya Repete Roundtable Parley

Top contemporary Nigerian music producer, Idowu Ogunade, popularly known as ID Cabasa, gave an impressive display of brilliance which earned him lots of accolades at the Goldberg Lager organized Ariya Repete roundtable which took place Tuesday, May 21, 2019.

The date of the event which is commemorated worldwide as World Cultural and Diversity day also served as the flag off to the 2019 edition of the indigenous Music talent hunt show.

The Award winning producer sat among veterans of the Fuji and Juju genres of music such as Dr Saheed Osupa, Sir Shina Peters, Yinka Davis, Alhaji Sikiru Agboola, PMAN executive Tolu Obey, and Afropop star Sound Sultan to discuss the topic “One Culture, One Voice, New Sound.” Cabasa shared deep insights and suggestions of how the older generation and new generation indigenous Yoruba musicians can come together to create a fusion between the past and present in order to secure the future of the genre.

The audience which also included members of the press where astonished by the percipience and articulation of the experienced producer who is credited with honing the talent of current Goldberg Ambassador and Nigeria rapper Olamide. ID Cabasa has also produced for other megastars in contemporary Nigerian music including Lord of Ajasa, 9ice, and Reminisce.

This year’s ‘Roundtable’, which is an annual discourse heralding the Ariya Repete competition, also served to promote intellectual discussions amongst key stakeholders in the music industry, especially in the Fuji, Juju and now, Afro Hip–Hop genres.

With Ariya Repete introducing the Afro-pop to the mix for this year’s edition, you can expect some amazing talents to emerge from the contest.
