Nigerian producer and musician, Cobhams Asuquo, has unveiled a live performance video of his track ‘Angels All Around’ from his For You album.
Monday’s release of the video comes on the back of his sold-out album launch concert in March and the recent launch of his first ever nationwide tour.
Filmed during the first concert of the tour at The Pistis Conference Centre in Lagos on March 26, the ‘Angels All Around’ live performance sees Cobhams sing beautifully about angels who he describes as “good people who just help you move forward. They’ve been placed around you to just be a blessing in your life”.
His performance is backed by lush ballad-esque piano arrangements and soaring vocal harmonies.
Shot and directed by documentary filmmaker, Joel ‘Kachi’ Benson, the ‘Angels All Around’ live video is the first of many visual collaborations between Benson and Cobhams, which will be released through the period of the nationwide tour.
Alongside his work with Cobhams, Benson has also collaborated with the likes of Kelechi Amadi-Obi, TY Bello, George Osodi, ID Cabasa and Kenny Ogungbe, among others.
Revered as one of the best musical minds to come out of Africa, Cobhams has worked with Asa, Bono of U2, 2face, Angelique Kidjo, Waje and Bez among others in a decorated career that has spanned over a decade.
The ongoing For You nationwide tour has already seen him headline several venues across Lagos in the past Easter weekend, with the tour confirmed for scheduled concerts across Benin, Uyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt, and the nation’s capital Abuja, as well as international stops in United Kingdom and the United States, over the next seven months.
It will then conclude its nine-month run with a final concert in Lagos in December.
