This one has a different magical feel to it, a la, classic highlife meets Afrobeat groove...reminds me of some of Baba's early numbers from the 60's and early 70's
Exactly. I told a friend the same thing yesterday. I sounds like the music of Fela's "Highlife Jazz" era. Beautiful. And funny in that era Fela used Yoruba more - just like Seun used in this song.
I'm ashamed to admit that my Yoruba language isn't that good despite it being my native tongue but he's basically advising against a materialistic mindset. He saying that we shouldn't struggle with or kill each other for the things of the world because they're temporal. That we came into this world with nothing & when we die, we would leave everything back in this world & wouldn't take anything with us.
