He wore a slitted cloth and rubber mask—a classic portrayal of the ‘common man’—in keeping with his Yoruba tribe’s carnival heritage and the appellation ‘Lágbájá.’
In 1991, Lágbájá founded his first band, and in 2000, he released the album ‘We Before Me.’ This album urged truth and honesty from politicians, with a deep belief in societal reforms through songs. It also emphasized the importance of brotherhood and solidarity.
One could wonder who is truly behind the mask, as he rarely attends occasions without wearing a mask.
