Veteran music producer Olumide Ogunade, better known as ID Cabasa, has set the record straight about who first did what in the Afrobeat soundscape. In a recent episode on Adesope’s podcast, the music producer said that he once heard someone say that Damini Ogulu, also called Burna Boy, was the first musician to make use of live bands during concerts and shows.
In the conversation about those who have used live bands before singer, Burna Boy, music executive, ID Cabasa mentioned some veteran artists who he has worked with. As stated by him, African queen crooner, 2baba, and 9ice have performed using live bands before now.
He further noted that such statements about Burna Boy being the first to use live bands are false.
Cabasa said;
“Burna Boy isn’t the first to use live bands, Wizkid, Olamide, and even before the era of DJs, 9ice, 2Baba and D’banj were performing with live bands.”
