OFFICIAL VIDEO | Kenny K'ore: Yalako
Labels:

Music Video
Kenny K'ore recently released the official music video for Yalako, a song off his "Eledumare Reloaded" album.
K'ore adopts a story-telling approach to this song, slipping in and out of English and Yoruba. Yalako is the story of Ola, a man who "struggles with infidelity but eventually finds the strength to overcome it and return to where his true love lies." [Source]
If you have ever wondered what Afro/Nigerian Jazz/Gospel sounds like, this would be a good example.

nice song...enjoyed listening to it
Aloted: I'm glad you did!
1 + The One: Happy New Year to you too! You should definitely check it out.
LOVE it! Interesting how Mr. K'ore keeps making songs about romance and infidelity. It reminds me a litle of Asa's awe
Dayo: I'm so glad I was not the only one who noticed this. We need more socially conscious gospel songs, and K'ore seems to understand this.
Hello Relentless, thank you for such a kind review on my works. I'm both humbled and encouraged by you.
Now I'm gonna wonna try harder and be better, GOD help me.
Do keep up the amiable work of show casing the best of Africa to the world. The Lord is your strength in Jesus Name. Shalom
Kenny K'ore: You're welcome! Thanks for the encouragement too, and I pray your hard work pays off. Keep setting the pace.
So, which are the other tracks by K'ore on romance and/or infidelity? This one, 'Yalako' is oozes of maturity, confidence, and a hint of genius. Relentless: thanks for the video link... after listening to this one track on Youtube, I'd wondered: how nice would it be to have a video; and the video delivered. K'ore gets his message across without getting preachy; this is the beauty of it. His stage presence is impressive. Now, the question: where to find the CD to buy? And the video? Another question: what is 'yalako'?
