The Cavemen Set to Unveil Cavy in the City — A Celebration of Culture, Growth, and Urban Soul
Nigerian highlife torchbearers The Cavemen are set to return with their highly anticipated third studio album, Cavy in the City, arriving on Thursday, October 31, 2025.
The announcement came on Thursday, October 23, alongside the reveal of the album’s striking cover art, a visual feast that perfectly mirrors the duo’s timeless sound.
In the artwork, brothers Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James are pictured in a lush, garden-like setting. Kingsley sits regally on a patterned wooden throne, while Benjamin stands poised behind him beneath an arched entryway.
The image, bathed in a warm sepia glow, marries the richness of tradition with the pulse of modern life a visual metaphor for the balance the brothers have long championed in their music.
Cavy in the City follows The Cavemen’s previous critically acclaimed projects, Roots (2020) and Love and Highlife (2021), two albums that redefined contemporary Nigerian highlife and introduced the genre to a younger audience hungry for authenticity.
Their unique blend of Igbo highlife, jazz, and folk, delivered with soulful harmonies and rhythmic precision, has cemented their place as torchbearers of a golden sound reborn.
While the duo has kept details about the tracklist and guest appearances under wraps, excitement is already surging among fans and industry insiders.
Many expect Cavy in the City to expand their storytelling canvas — weaving tales of love, hustle, and cultural pride while embracing the sounds and sentiments of the modern African city.
As the release date draws near, Cavy in the City is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most anticipated African albums, promising a soulful bridge between heritage and the ever-evolving soundscape of today’s Afrobeats generation.
