Orewa means BEAUTIFUL in YORUBA, and beautiful is this song by Nneka, the Nigerian-German born artist. I’ve been down with her music for sometime now. She’s a true revolutionist in the making. Many of us are influenced by music; we enmesh ourselves in it and allow it to take us away. I do it more than I should. This particular artist’s soundtrack influenced my style today (and various other days); her hymns remind me of the strength of Nigeria and its splendor, so I wear it bountifully on my shoulders. I felt like a warrior queen, and somewhere in between the strum of her guitar to the closing lyrics, I was dressed like one – while keeping Seattle weather conditions in mind, there’s a rumor that it may snow!
