Track of the Month:
“Wide Awake” by Asuquomo
June’s Track of the Month is by Asuquomo (FKA Morris Ogbowu), a prolific Nigerian-born musician that brings his pan-African story to Canada’s capital. “Wide Awake is an irresistibly catchy and popping song that brilliantly walks the line between sharp lyricism and technique and dance-inducing rhythms. The music video was shot in Asuquomo’s home country of Nigeria, so be sure to watch it below.
Asuquomo will be playing live at Queen Street Fare on July 26th in support of Tuareg songwriter and musician Mdou Moctar. A show not to be missed!
