Skillz spotting a new look…
Catholic Mission and Campbell Streets on
Lagos Island were shut to traffic on Sunday 30 September as the two
streets were used as locations for the filming of a flash mob dance
video of London-based singer and rapper, JJCSkillz‘ new single ‘African skank‘.
The shoot of the new single, currently
enjoying airplay on various radio stations across Nigeria and UK,
features a clutch of celebrities including Ali Baba, Kate Henshaw, Weird MC, Goldie, DJ Sose, Wilson Alao, Funke Akindele, Kaffy, Denrele, Anita Isedeh (Omalicha), Gbenro Ajibade, among others.
‘African skank‘ is a sound aptly termed Electro-Afrobeat. It is an eclectic blend of Afro Rhythm techno, Dirty dutch and pop beats all tuned to popular dances like the Azonto, Etighi and Alanta.
In the video, Ali Baba sporting a LASTMA
uniform, did the Azonto dance with the hood kidz, while actress Kate
Henshaw delivered her prowess in Etigi and Denrele Edun did the Massia
dance.
JJCSkillz says that the flash mob dance
is a new concept which has never been done in the Nigerian music scene.
It was directed by JJCSkillz and Gini, CEO, Omo Ita Entertainment.
Born Abdul Rasheed Bello, JJCSkillz is
the award winning artiste, director and creator of the JJC & the 419
Squad, Big Brovas and the Afropean sound (a blend of Yoruba language
mixed with English). His last single ‘We Are Africans’ was a massive hit
and the phenomenal response to the single lead to its various remixes
in Nigeria and Europe.
