Details/Takeaway: In the aftermath of a highly contested and extremely divisive electoral season in Nigeria, BANTU returns back to form with their trademark wittiness and candour steeped in crisply arranged horns and densely orchestrated grooves to remind their listeners, and Nigerians in particular, of the pitfalls of partisan and ethnicity politics.
'Wayo And Division' the first single off their forthcoming album reflects on how for decades poverty and fear have been weaponised by Nigeria’s ruling elites, military dictators and politicians to distract and stop the oppressed from uniting and resisting the oppression.
Refusing to hold back in their critique of the existing status quo, BANTU prompt their listeners to take the scales off their eyes and see the recurring patterns of deception.
