This summer, Àkójopò proudly presents its 3rd annual Concert in Lagos, titled Orin Tuntun, which translates to "new songs" in English. Building upon the success of previous editions, this year's concert promises to be even more grandiose. We have commissioned esteemed composers from Nigeria, Ghana, Brazil, the United States, Poland, and Mexico, thereby fostering a truly global presence. Additionally, we will be celebrating Professor Bode Omojola, the distinguished Hammond-Douglass Five College Professor of Music. The Orin Tuntun concert serves as a platform to showcase and premiere new compositions in the African art music idiom while promoting African art music as an authentic and indigenous African art form. To catch a glimpse of the magic that unfolded during last year's concert, you can watch the highlights here: https://youtu.be/l0EGmIv_-9Y
