Nigerian musician and composer Barry Jhay is still making waves with his own musical identity of fusing contemporary Afropop with traditional Fuji roots.
The exceptional vocalist is noted for his emotive delivery, deep melodies, and culturally influenced sound, which has helped him develop a recognizable presence in the Nigerian music business.
One of the titles of his newest music project is “Time (Asiko).” The song has been included as part of his six-track EP, GODFEARING GANGSTER, which also includes other tunes such as “So Good,” “Messi,” “Done 4 Me,” “Angel Of My Life,” and “This King God.”
“Asiko” is a Yoruba term that means “time” or “season.” The title gives the song a cultural flavor. Barry Jhay’s music generally employs Yoruba idioms and Fuji-inspired vocal traditions, creating a unique link to Nigeria’s musical legacy.
