MUSIC DOWNLOAD: SKENTELE SKONTOLO
BY LAGBAJA
You might be wondering how music correlates with fashion because both are appreciated with different sense organs; we use ears for music and eyes for fashion. Lagbaja did a fuse of both in his song Skentele Skontolo, on the album ‘Africano Video Series’, produced by Motherlan Music in 2006.

The song focuses on gele, a fashionable head tie of the Yoruba, without which a woman’s outfit is incomplete. The lyrics of the song are not only most enjoyable but also serve to convey beautifully, long-lasting impressions about the gele, an example of which is: “Ko si fashion nka to ju tia lo, iro ati buba yen pelu gele skontolo”, meaning: There is no fashion better than ours – iro and buba together with gele.

Another emphasises that Yoruba women should know the intricacies of gele-tying, “Gele o dun bi ka mo we, ko da bii ko ye ni “. Lágbájá asserts that the counterpart of the gele is the fila worn by Yoruba men, “To ba ge gele skentele, e mi a ge fila skontolo.”
