When my siblings and I were younger, my mother would teach us to dance to Sonny Okosun. She would say “Move your feet first! Okay, now your knees. Now use your bottom [boh-TOME]! Okay, your tummy. Soldiers! [she meant shoulders, of course] And your head!”
That’s how Siji tells the story in his song, Ijo. Peep the video below and visit his site for more visual and auditory goodness! Thanks to @blacklooks for putting me on!
