I remember watching Venus Bushfires perform a few times here in Lagos and wondering if her music would be able to find its feet amidst the murky waters of our current conformist musical soundscape. I like the experimental nature of her sound but have often found people in the crowds looking a bit bewildered as though trying to make sense of it all. I would be interested in seeing the Nigerian audiences reception and reaction to her pidgin opera. I love these sorts of cultural intersections and weavings. Find out more about it in the video.
