People Often ask me"Buchi why did you choose raggae,why not other genre of music?" Buchi
The
truth is, i so love the reggae vibes; i could try describing it. At
first, i also wondered where it came from, until 1980 when it dawned on
me that its innate i.e inborn. Something about its sound totally agrees
with my spirit; i didn't know anything could be sweeter till i met
Jesus.
But really, you can't compare my love for
the sound with my love for Jesus. This is because the latter is an
embodiment of everything sweet 'n' nice; reggae inclusive. See that?
In
1992, i moved from reggae night club to the church, i gave up
everything including reggae music...nothing to live for but Christ. Can
you imagine the joy when i found reggae again in HIM (Christ)?
Religion
didn't give me a chance to enjoy the reggae sound in church but the
teaching of the truth; the gospel, did. That's one of the reasons i owe
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome a debt of gratitude. See, even then, many
questioned my sincerity of my new birth. "why did you bring reggae sound
in church? Why wear RED, GOLD & GREEN? They'd often ask . This new
album is my response. Its my manifesto. I named this one: RED, GOLD
& GREEN
