Lagbaja


Bisade Ologunde is an Afro-beat musician from Nigeria. Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means somebody, nobody, anybody or everybody.

He is mostly identified by his mask. The mask and the name (common man) symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa. Lagbaja's mask reminds you of your own facelessness. Other artistes have followed this mask concept and symbolism

Bisade sings a lot about social issues, primarily in Yoruba and English. His debut album (Lagbaja) was in 1993.
