BANTU has released the official video to their song “Ka Maa Dupe” the second single off their critically acclaimed album “Agberos International”. The Video was shot in the ancient city of Abeokuta with everyday people interacting with BANTU’s lead female vocalist and other band members, this life-affirming song celebrates the ability of the human spirit to triumph despite the odds. The opening line of the first verse sets the tone as BANTU readily admit how difficult it is to be optimistic when it feels like the world is constantly crushing down on you.
Themes of loneliness and vulnerability are openly addressed alongside remedial themes of gratitude and resistance as the band shared their personal stories. The final verse, sung in Yoruba, is used to invoke the beauty of the language and its deeply positive proverbs and adages that connect to the song’s title “Ka Maa Dupe” which translated into English, means “let us be thankful”.
The video was directed by Olasunkanmi Adebayo, other set members are:
DOP: Olubanjo Ireyomi& White Adeniyi, Producer: Ade Bantu, Costume-Styling: Ayo Van Elmar and the Line Producer: Bola Belo
The song was written by Ade Bantu & Olasunkanmi Adebayo.
