Yoruba actor set to release debut album

The respected actor has a long history in the acting world but surprised many further last year by announcing singing is not new to him. He is set to launch his debut album.

Populary known as Ogogo, Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan will be releasing his debut music album this month.

The respected actor has a long history in the acting world but surprised many further last year by announcing singing is not new to him.

He told NET: "I wouldn’t say something really prompted the idea because this is what I met in my family and Yoruba adage has it that family’s culture circulates from one generation to another. That is why I always pray that people shouldn’t come from a bad family.

"If the originator of the family was an armed robber, it is very obvious that this will be trending in the family forever and that is the meaning of the adage. I was born from a masquerade’s family in Ilaro, Ogun State and my grandparents have turned Muslim as far back as 20th century,’ he said on his involvement in music."

The album will be released on January 25, 2014 at 10 Degrees Event Centre, Lagos and will be chaired by former chairman of the Lagos chapter of National Union Road Transport Workers, Rafiu Olohunwa, with a special performance by King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal.
