My Tuesday Tune

Hey Peeps, it’s Queen She known as me here and I’m talking today about…you guessed it, my Tuesday tune, or as I often call it, my private noise!

 The tune I’m listening to as I type this post is by The Lijadu Siters and it’s called Come on Home.

“Come on Home” is a summery piece of art, the sonic equivalent of a flowery sun dress, and a timeless testament to the internationally ubiquitous feeling of joy."-Vibes 

I started listening to Nigerian music four years ago and at the same time introducing my oldest granddaughter to it.  Turns out it would later benefit her because several of her closest friends are Nigerian, and she's able to enjoy their music with them and they can enjoy hers with her.

Anyways, I started out listening to Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage and Emma Nyra who are all present-day singers, songwriters and performers, but The Lijadu Sisters are identical twin sisters’ who in the 1960’s and 70’s intertwined funk, afro-beat, and soul into their music.  They were known for incorporating their Nigerian roots; like in the song Come on Home the lyrics are both in English and their native Yoruba.  Another example is the song starts off with the sound of West African talking drums, and then you hear a bass guitar.

So take a listen to my Tuesday Tune, let me know if you dig it! Peace.
