Hello everyone, welcome to afri-tunes week 151. I am @Katezauka and I will be doing a cover of the song 'Imole de' by Dunsin Oyekan.
First and foremost, before I share my inspiration and the reason why I chose to cover this song, I would like to let you know that the title of the song 'Imole de' is a yoruba statement which means "The light came".
And the line of the song which says "Imole de oh, okunkun parada" is simply interpreted in English as "Light comes and darkness hides"
Now this will bring me to answer the question; what inspires me to do the cover of the song, if you may ask.
Well, one of the things that inspires me was that; The song is meaningful. At first when I got to know the meaning of the title alone, I was eager to know what the rest of the words in the lyrics mean because I am not yoruba. Just when I got to know, I fell in love with the song that I had to listen to it more often. It gives me indept understanding about the passage of the Bible that quotes "I am the light of the world". And this helps strengthen my faith in christ having known that he is the light, and when he came darkness disappears.
Also, one of the reasons that pushed me to do the cover of the song is the fact that the instrumentals align with the voicing which produces a sweet melody to the human hearing. I can listen to the song over and over again without getting tired. I must say that the sound producer did a great job there. It's amazing.
Having enjoyed the original song I decided to do the cover, putting in my best to ensure that you enjoy it too. And I strongly believe that you are not disappointed and even Dunsin Oyekan will be proud of me (smile).
Thank you so much for coming around and hope to see more of you.
