NIJI - Oríkì *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 28th February 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Oriki is an album blending jazz, Fuji and Afrobeat in a powerful tribute to
Yoruba heritage
Featuring Mercury Prize- shortlisted Moses Boyd, Afronaut Zu (Steam Down,
Rudimental) and spoken word artist Adesayo, Oriki merges ancestral praise with
contemporary expression. Six years in the making, the album draws inspiration from
NIJI's great-grandmother, Matilda Taiwo (Mata), and serves as his personal statement
on identity, history, and homecoming. The album is threaded with the evocative
rhythms of the talking drum, grounding each composition in cultural authenticity.
With Oriki, NIJI invites listeners into his journey of reconnection, presenting a work
both timeless and rooted-- a musical expression of past, present and future
converging.

Tracks: Adunni / Sounds of the City feat. Moses Boyd / Jaye (Dance Dance) / Mo
ti dele / A13 FUJI / Oba (Drum break) / Mata / Oriki / Joshua's Legacy
