Mp3bullet.ng presents Nigerian Music Videos that were Filmed at The New Afrika Shrine

The Nigerian musician and pioneer of Afrobeats, Fela Kuti, constructed a shrine for himself where he held performances and recorded music.

Due to Fela’s political involvement in the 1970s, the military government had this shrine, now known as the “Old Afrika Shrine,” demolished.

Then he relocated to Mushin’s Empire Hotel, also known as the Kalakuta Republic or the Afrika Shrine. As a result of repeated government raids, this was completely destroyed in 1977.

In honour of Fela’s passing, his son Femi Kuti erected a new Afrika Shrine in October 2000. Since then, it has become into a popular tourist destination for aficionados of Afrobeats worldwide.

The new shrine, which is located in the Alausa environment of Ikeja, Lagos State, houses some of the best art and musical performances in Lagos. It has become like home for Afro-beat lovers and has also served as a great location for emerging artists to shoot their videos and host their shows.

Here are some Nigerian music videos that were shot at the shrine:

Run My Race – Burna Boy (2013)

Prior to his performance in Felabration 2013 where he shocked the crowd by performing in his underwear, Burna Boy shot the video for Run My Race at The New Afrika Shrine.

He credits Fela, whom he has frequently cited as his role model, for providing the inspiration for the song, which was directed by Clarence Peters.

Therefore, he chose to film the video at the shrine. The video was able to depict both the shrine’s nightlife and the net where the female dancers perform.

Jaiye- Jaiye – Wizkid ft Femi Kuti (2013)

The accompanying video for Wizkid’s Jaiye Jaiye, which earned widespread acclaim, was shot at the new Afrika Shrine. The video, which was directed by Sesan, was nominated for a Nigerian entertainment award.

This video was able to depict both the stunning surroundings and scenes within the new Afrika Shrine. The video was released on October 26th, 2013.

Eruku Sa’Ye Po – Sean Tizzle (2015)

Sean Tizzle released the video for his song Eruku Sa’Ye Po on November 1st, 2015; it was filmed at The New Afrika Shrine.

The video included scenes from the annual festival as well as shots of the shrine’s exterior, the surrounding area, and street vendors.

Additionally, it provided a brief peek of the stage, which appeared slightly different because of the lighting effects that were added to the footage.

Manya – MUT4Y ft Wizkid (2017)

This music video, which was directed by Director Q and produced by MUT4Y, transported spectators to the centre of the new Afrika Shrine.

The visuals gave us a close-up view of practically every area of the shrine, including the artwork on the walls, the stage, and daily shrine activities like drink sellers selling drinks, talking drums, and traditional dancers moving to the music.

Several famous people appeared in the song video, including the Senegalese-American artist Akon.

Ma Lo- Tiwa Savage ft Wizkid (2017)

In 2017, Tiwa Savage dropped the video for her hit single ‘Ma Lo’ which features Wizkid and Spellz.

The song which is one of the tracks off her ‘Sugarcane’ album is a JM Films production, directed by Meji Alabi.

Tiwa’s and Wizkid’s chemistry in the video had people speculating about their relationship lives. The colourful video features the singers all over each other with dancers in the background.

Fantasy- Niniola ft Femi Kuti(2020)

In 2020, Niniola released the music video for her infectious single “Fantasy,” featuring Afrobeat icon Femi Kuti.

The track, produced by Kel-P, is a sultry banger, featuring mellifluous vocals from Niniola, and groovy saxophone riffs and horn arrangements from Kuti.

The music video, directed by Sesan, takes place at New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, Nigeria and features colourful scenes and energetic dancers, wearing looks inspired by the late Fela Kuti’s all-female dance crew, the Kalakuta Queens.

According to Niniola, she used to watch videos of Fela Kuti and Femi Kuti, and she loved the music and also loved the way the dancers moved their waist and hips and collaborating with Femi Kuti and shooting at the Afrikan Shrine is a childhood dream come true.

Wizkid not only delivers successful songs on his own, but his features are incredible. He is at the top of the list of the best artists to feature on a song.

The 31-year-old vocalist is not just skilled but also knows how to bring a song to life maybe this is why He’s referred to as the “god of Afrobeat” by some.

• RELATED: 5 Collaborations that Wizkid made into hits

So Mp3bullet.ng have compiled a list of 10 memorable times Wizkid delivered on his features.

Malo- Tiwa Savage

While Tiwa Savage and Wizkid have worked on a lot of features, “Malo” would always be remembered for being their best collaboration.

The Spellz-produced record currently has more than 50 million views on Youtube proving why it’s one of Nigeria best Afropop songs to date.

Wizkid and Tiwa Savage sell great chemistry with their verses and catchy hooks. Wiz in particular deliver a beautiful verse and hook on the song.

Tonight- R2bees

All the times R2bees have collaborated with Wizkid, it has always been hits and their 2016 collaboration, “Tonight“, is no exception.

On “Tonight‘ Wizkid sings about how he is head over heels over his girl seductive whining all he wants to do now is have sex with her

Wizkid who handles both a verse and chorus delivers perfectly.

Bella- MHD

“Bella” is Wizkid’s best collaboration with a non-English speaking artist. The song is beautiful in every form from the beat to the lyrics.

Energy- Skepta

When you count Wizkid’s best International, “Energy” is top 2. Wizkid and Skepta would have you believe in music brotherhood.

While Skepta delivers beautiful rap verses but Wizkid totally sells the song with his iconic hook and chorus.

Manya-Mut4y

MUT4Y is one half of the music duo, Legendarybeatz who are the brains behind some of Wizkid’s hits. In 2017 he tapped his boss, Wizkid for the smash hit, “Manya.”

On this song, Wizkid interpolates lyrics from Ghanaian Hiplife music group, VVIP’s popular tune, “Ahomka Womu.” This brilliant sample made “Manya” a street anthem even going to dominate records at the time of its release.

Low- Larry Gaaga

The best song from Larry Gaaga’s discography, Wizkid couldn’t have been more perfect for this slow summer jam. Every word he spits on the mid-tempo beat is memorable and catchy which made it a hit at the time of the release and to date.

Lagos to Kampala- Runtown

In 2015, Runtown released his debut album, “Ghetto University” and Wizkid was featured on two of the tracks. Both songs were a hit but for the list Mp3bullet.ng would be going with “Lagos to Kampala.”

The song is memorable for the iconic Wizkid line, ‘Even Solo tell me say I no blow” that still has fans asking who the Solo is.

The Matter- Maleek Berry

Admit it, you believe this is Wizkid’s song, right? If you think so, you are not to be blamed as Wizkid perfectly carries this song on his head.

On the Maleek Berry beat, Wizkid proves he can be lyrically sauve unlike what his critics would like to do. And there is that of the wordplay and braggadocios Big Wiz does on the song.

Roll Up- Emtee, AKA

Wizkid might be an Afrobeat King but when he needs to diversify, he shows he is capable of doing so perfectly. On “Roll Up“, Wizkid takes up the challenge of spitting bars on a trap-inspired beat.

Despite having two South Afican Rappers on the track, Wizkid was the highlight of this song.

Which Nigerian millennial doesn’t remember this song. When it was released in 2012, this song had everyone both old and young in a chokehold.

2012 was a year of Wizkid’s features, it was hard to listen to a song he wasn’t featured on and out of the many, “Girl” was a crowd favourite.

The age of Social Media has changed things for the Music Industry and has helped in the popularity of little-known Nigerian Artists.

Success and breaking into the Nigerian music industry used to be determined not by your skill or hard work, but by intermediaries such as radio stations, television stations, and record labels.

The arrival of the Internet and Social Media was a game-changer for the music industry, as middlemen were no longer the main factor of success in the industry.

Many potentials have been discovered on the internet, and many young people have decided to seize the bull by the horns by leveraging on the internet and establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry, and musicians are no longer solely reliant on radio stations for song promotion.

• RELATED: Nigerian Artists Paving way for Upcoming artists

Here are some Nigerian artists who were discovered via Social Media;

Rema

Prior to his fame, Divine Ikubor also known as Rema was an underground artist who started doing music from his secondary school days.

His big break came after he went viral in 2018 thanks to his cover for D’Prince’s song “Gucci Gang” which he posted on Instagram.

The post caught the attention of D’Prince who flew him to Lagos to offer a record deal, later signing him to his label, Jonzing Record, a subsidiary of Mavin Records.

Prior to his public debut, the boy had been with the record label for nearly a year, undergoing training that would prepare him for a successful career and stardom.

Rema’s culture or practice of freestyling in his car has persisted even after earning a deal and achieving stardom.

Mayorkun

Although his mother was a popular face in the Yoruba movie industry, the gifted singer found it difficult to break into the music industry, so he resorted to working at a bank and making songs in his spare time.

About resigning from his bank job due to inadequate salary, the artist performed a cover of Davido’s hit “The Money (feat. Olamide),” posted it on Twitter, and tagged Davido in an appeal for assistance.

Davido followed him on Twitter and Instagram, and then he asked if he could do more than just play the keyboard. He received a call from Davido on the same day he submitted his resignation letter and sent Davido some of the songs he had already recorded.

Davido made the decision to sign him to Davido Music Worldwide. In 2016, Mayorkun released his first single under the label, “Eleko.”

Davido has on various occasions admitted that signing Mayorkun has been one of his best decisions.

Terri

While a lot of people go to auditions, talent showcases, and other events in the hopes of securing a recording contract, for Terri it only took a music cover to do so.

The music star recorded himself singing DJ Jimmy Jatt’s song “Oshe” featuring Wizkid and tagged a few celebs in the video. When Wizkid saw the video, he became interested in him.

Wizkid showed Mut4y (of Legendury Beatz) the video and asked him to assist him in finding the boy, thus beginning a change in Terri’s fortunes.

His first major appearance was on Wizkid’s “Soco” in 2018.

Teni

The star act of Dr Dolor Entertainment is undeniably talented. While still in school in the United States, Teni used the Internet to build a fan following for herself.

Her Instagram was growing at the time, with her funny videos and amazing freestyles featuring her melodious voice keeping her fans glued to their screens.

She secured a recording deal with Dr. Dolor Entertainment and established solid fame with hit songs like “Case”, “Fargin”, “Uyo Meyo”, “Askamaya” e.t.c

To this day, the singer still freestyles on her social media accounts.

Joeboy

Joeboy’s music career began when he was 16 years old and the following year he dropped his first track, Gbeseyin, an Afrobeat tune.

In 2017, he recorded a cover of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You, which received a lot of attention both in Nigeria and internationally.

Mr Eazi noticed his fantastic vocals, leading to him making Joeboy the first artist to receive sponsorship from his music philanthropic initiative, emPawa Africa.

Through the help of emPawa Africa and Mr Eazi, Joeboy released a song titled “Faaji” which did very well, however, it was his 2019 love song, “Baby” that launched him to mainstream success.

He later got signed by Naira Marley to his Marlian Record under which he released hit songs such as “Caro”, “Kilofeshe”, “Mapariwo“, e.t.c

And there’s going to be a huge line-up of artists. Some are going to perform, some will just make appearances and the concert may even unveil new artists. Younglings like Terri, Ceeza Milli who have been co-signed by the StarBoy will probably have the stage for a while, and then some other guys, Chidokeyz, Mystro, many of them. Even Slimcase, yeah. Probably because sometimes last year Wizkid had a collaboration with the “Oshozondi” singer.

But Zlatan Ibile has been the rave of the moment for a while now, and does it look like he’s ever going to get a slot at Wizkid’s show, or on his album or whatever? No, most likely not. For now, the odds are low, though. And why is it simple.

Wizkid is a Star, we all know that and he got the sauce. Not just a star, but a Legend in his own right. After almost a decade as one of the best artists, in the whole of Africa, Wiz hasn’t been the kind to do an unnecessary collaboration. Not in the past, not now, nor ever. He’s either doing some major shit for his body of works (“Jaiye Jaiye”), or he’s doing stuff for the culture (“Kana”) or he’s helping out some upcoming guy perfect his work (“Fibadi”.) Anyway that comes, it’s as simple as, if “Gucci Snake” wasn’t needed, there’s no need for doing it in the first place. But at that time, street music could really use some co-sign from some big guy like Wiz. And it upped Slimcase‘s career big time.

Zlatan Ibile, on the other hand, as we all know is a prophet on the streets. He does his thing like he’s here to stay, also doing big time (and also small-time) collaboration in the process. From Davido (“Bum Bum”) to Burna Boy (“Killin Dem”) to Naira Marley (“Am I a Yahoo Boy”) to Tiwa Savage (“Shotan”), some of his biggest hits to date are with some really big guys in this industry. And we’re not even talking about the stuff he’s doing with ’em Zinoleesky’s. He’s got energy and he shares that energy.

Nonetheless, there is a regular pattern to all this stuff. Zlatan Ibile works with top producer Rexxie, who has made some of the biggest jams this year. On “Able God”, there was Chinko Ekun, Lil Kesh and Zlatan. So months after, Lil Kesh is down with Olamide on “Logo Benz”, produced by your boy, Rexxie. Weeks later, Rexxie did “Bum Bum” a sort of DMW stuff which had Zlatan and Davido. And somehow months after, Mayorkun (a DMW art) landed on a jam with Lil Kesh. Naira Marley is Zlatan Ibile’s frequent collaborator and they usually have Rex do their jobs. And it goes on and on and on!

But Wizkid would never fit in, anyhow we position it. He’s not working with Rexxie (Killertunes is the way to go.) And he’s certainly not a close ally to the DMW family or Lil Kesh? Nah. So if Wizkid were to do something with Zlatan Ibile, how on earth would that even happen?

Who knows, anyway. Kel P may decide to put Wizkid, Burna Boy and Zlatan Ibile, on the same jam. Until then, I don’t think anyone should get their hopes up!
