Ha! Is that Him?

Amazing!

lagbaja don cast

Good one there. But Ijagbo is in Oyun LGA of Kwara State, not Ogun as it was in the write up!

ephi123:
He definitely has carved a niche for himself. That picture is def not him though.

That's actually him.

keyanZuzer:

That's actually him.

No no no, it's not.

That,is not lagbaja

I LOVE HIS GENRE OF MUSIC N HIS PAIR OF SANDAL. WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THE SANDAL's NAME.

Great guy anytime, anyday. Never seen a Nigerian artist like him. We miss you bro and please, one more album!

Still sang the song 'NEVER FAR AWAY' to the queen of my heart sometimes last week..... It's my all time best when it comes to love song.


She didn't realize Wat d song meant dough.

Long Live Lagbaja

Wish he can come bk with Ego and bless us 1s more with an album

This is an example of an artiste that understands the concept of Music, Mehn....i doff my hat.....Twale

Truly, I miss Lagbaja. But methinks he started losing relevance when his lead soloist, Ego left him.

Make this man go sudden.

At some point, his ideas just fizzled out.
Na people like him should have been at the forefront of this TUface protest with Afro human rights songs and messages.

And he's there wearing masks.

Who mask epp?

so na so lagbaja face be ehhh...

SweetieConstie:
Awww... *Singing aloud*





Did I ever say I’d love you forever?
Did I? Did I?
Even if I ever said I’d love you forever
I must have been out of my mind
As you know, sometimes love gets intoxicating

Growing up in Nigeria was fun, and I had the opportunity to listen to lots of talented musicians/music artistes and groups from Africa's most populous black nation ranging from the likes of Onyeka Onwenu, to Asa, to TY bello, to psquare, to wizkid, style plus and so many more.

But among all these, one voice was among the "special few" that did stand out. He was known as, "The masked one". A lot of people still don't know the face behind the mask of this music legend, though recently, he unmasked his face in honour of his daughter's wedding.

His name is "Lagbaja".


Lagbaja, originally known as; Bisade Ologunde, who is currently based in Manhattan, new york, USA is a Nigerian afrobeat musician, singer and song writer.

He was born in year 1960 in Lagos state. He is from Odogun's compound, ijagbo community in Ogun local government area of Kwara state.

The Nigerian music icon, adopted the name, "lagbaja" ( meaning "anonymous" or "The faceless one" in Yoruba).

He is also an instrumentalist, who plays the saxophone. He made his debut in year 1993 into the music industry and since then, he has been able to fascinate us with his unique style of using traditional African drums/instruments.

His music is purely instrumental but sometimes, they are sung in Yoruba or English or a blend of the two. Most of his songs entertain, while some send a serious message which is most times, filled with humour.

He has won awards such as, Nigerian music awards in 2001, including artist of the year, producer of the year, and album of the year. He and his band performed on the African stage at the BBC music live festival over the Golden jubilee celebration at London's Hyde park in summer 2002.


The songs and punchlines of lagbaja are still in use in our society today. From "konko below", to "gra gra", to "skentele", to "nothing for you", and a few more. His songs and style are ever green and will always be remembered by Nigerians and other Africans, who got wind of his talents also.

Lagbaja was like a breath of fresh air that blew and made us bask in the beauties of true music.
Many legends and class acts come and go. But in lagbaja, we have one who cannot be buried in the annals of history but will always live long in our memories.

There are spirits brave,
There are legends true,
There are legacies eternal and also talents extraordinary.

In the masked one, we had almost all these...

He is truly one of Afrobeats' finest of the finest and King of African Jazz....

Here's to saying; "Lagbaja, some of us still miss you and your music which always offered laughter, entertainment, hope and love".


Lagbaja is a true icon of music not just in Nigeria, but in Africa and till date in the 17th year of the 21st century, is still missed despite the boom in music dynamism and styles across the continent called, "Mother Africa". Lagbaja was a genuine super Original.

There is nothing like" Ogun local government "in kwara state


Do ur research very well bf spewing jagons onlinw

I like this guy called Lagbaja music but his personalty is very questionable I don't get this masquerade style of life if not for Jazz because I don't get it in this century a young man going around in masquerade dress and claim he want to hide his face please hidden his face from who Please who is even looking for his face in the first place or who care about his face for him to be hidden it

Please Mr Lagbaja give your life to God and leave all these strange stuffs the world has moved on from where you are still standing promoting African culture does not mean you should be dressing like masquerade please.

That was a typo error. In the write up, the only thing you saw was a little mistake. Next time, don't quote me spilling thrash.

A taste of your medicine, its "online" not "onlinw".

My number one.

Which puts the so-called revelation of Lagbaja's identity in serious doubt. FYI, the image of that bald guy has been in circulation for around 10 years now and it has been disputed time upon time that it ain't omo baba muko muko.

Dentition could be modified, so always follow the eyes folks, the eye never lies.

Crap article.

ourhype360dotcom got u covered!!!

shit talk.. ....... jesuuu if I hiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am certain it is "Oyun" the OP meant to type but her autocorrect feature on her android changed it without her noticing such.

Amazing how you had to quote all of the write-up to spill NONSENSE.

So this is all you got from the write-up mister?? How nice of you....

I wonder what "Onlinw" is then....


Mister... Don't be too quick to jump on simple mistakes when you yourself make them everyday. You could have easily corrected in a mild manner.

Your comment depicts you as a low-life but you don't even know it.... Really silly behavior from you... Not cool at all.

It wasn't my fault really, I used my fone and my "auto correct" corrected the "Oyun" to "Ogun". I realised the error late now I can't modify it.

That is his style, create your own and let's see if people would appreciate. They say doing music is a "showbiz" but decided to make it hidden and it works fine for him, so what are you trying to get to?
