Nigerian artist Ahmed Oloade, also known as Asake, has stated why he prefers to sing in his native Yoruba language.
The ‘Mr Money With The Vibe’ singer explained that he sings largely in his own tongue because it is essential to him and many people understand it.
He made this revelation in a recent interview with ABC News.
He added that listeners do not need to grasp the language in order to enjoy the music.
He said, “Yoruba is so important to me and there are a lot of people that understand it. And to me, the way I understand music is like it’s a feeling; sometimes you don’t even need to understand the language to enjoy the music.”
According to Asake, music is all about spiritual connection and feeling the beat.
