The music is beautiful and creative and it showcases an authentic African groove, fusing a large horn section, call and response and a long coda that is reminiscent of the late great Fela Kuti compositions. Bez has spent the past year recording in studios in New York, Houston, Lagos, and even going to his Northern Nigerian village of Karu, Nassarawa State to work with and record traditional musicians and instrumentation to craft this big, bodacious, brilliant and brassy collection of records of which There’s A Fire is the first single. The song written by Bezhiwa Idakula (BEZ) & Simisola Ogunleye, a.k.a Simi, X3M Music recording artiste.
The track features phenomenal bassist and recording artist, Michael Olatuja. Houston TX based, Marcie Chapa, extraordinary percussionist who currently plays in “Suga Mama”, Beyonce’s all female band. Tying the sound all together is Bez’s producer and label head, Cobhams Asuquo. The Video was directed by MEX of PXC.
