Oxlade acoustic session
One of Nigeria's most successful afrobeats artists, Oxlade, performs acoustic versions of four tracks from his latest album, Oxlade from Africa.
Oxlade is one of Nigeria's most successful afrobeats artists, and he also has one of the sweetest voices. Often compared to a choirboy, he honed his vocal skills in church, and as you will hear in this edition, he really can sing.
In the three years since Oxlade first appeared on This Is Africa, his career has gone from strength to strength. He had a colossal global hit with Ku Lo Sa, which has now racked up more than 500 million streams.
In September 2024 he dropped his debut album, entitled Oxlade from Africa. For TIA he performs four of the tracks from the album - Katigori, OFA, Ololufe and Intoxycated - in stripped down versions, with a simple guitar accompaniment.
