Let’s take a melodious trip to the vibrant heart of Uromi, Esan land in Edo State, where African highlife gets a cultural glow-up with Agbon, the trending hit by the legendary Emperor Wadada featuring the talented Stanley O. Iyonawan.
Emperor Wadada, affectionately known as the Oba Teku Teku 1, is no stranger to the highlife scene. A veteran Esan music maestro, he’s been dishing out timeless tunes for decades, blending tradition with modern sounds to create music that speaks to the soul. With Agbon—which translates to “Life” in Esan—Wadada dives deep into the essence of existence, painting a lyrical picture of life’s highs, lows, and everything in between.
Featuring Stanley O. Iyonawan, whose silky vocals perfectly complement Wadada’s signature style, this track is a harmonic masterpiece. The fusion of Esan rhythms, highlife grooves, and powerful lyrics makes Agbon not just a song but an experience. It’s the kind of music that gets your feet tapping, your mind reflecting, and your spirit uplifted—all at once.
Whether you’re from Esan land or just a lover of African highlife, Agbon is proof that Emperor Wadada remains a true custodian of culture and a maestro of melody. It’s life lessons wrapped in rhythm, Esan style!
