Agolo by Siselabonga
«Agolo» — a Yoruba word meaning «listen» — is a new interpretation of the 1994 classic by Angélique Kidjo. The song tells the story of a girl defying her parents to marry a wealthy man, exploring themes of choice, consequence, and the allure of the unknown. The duo's take on «Agolo» is darker and more psychedelic, drawing from Siselabonga’s admiration for non-Eurocentric perspectives and psychedelics. The track is a kaleidoscopic blend that pulls listeners into its rich sound, urging them to feel both mentally and physically.
