Having been chosen by Fela to join his band at a somewhat tender age, he was still a young man when he shared Fela’s Glastonbury stage in 1984, and became Musical Director for both Fela’s Egypt 80 and Femi Kuti’s Positive Force. He has gone on to establish himself as an authentic afrobeat ambassador, travelling the world and taking the afrobeat movement with him. We’ll be talking about his music, his past and present influences/collaborations, his view on the surge in popularity of “afrobeats”, his current and upcoming projects... plus anything else that takes MY fancy ;) I’m honoured to have such a key shaper of the Afrobeat movement, someone who was THERE when it all started, as a guest on the show!     02:01:00Thinking Aloud with Ayo *TAWA*noTAWA,Dele Sosimi,Afrobeat,Afrobeat Ambassador,NaijaA candid interview with Afrobeat Ambassador Dele Sosimi about his life and music.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ayosonoiki/2015/06/24/thinking-aloud-with-ayo-in-conversation-with-kehinde-dacosta-lawrenceRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ayosonoiki/2015/06/24/thinking-aloud-with-ayo-in-conversation-with-kehinde-dacosta-lawrence/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ayosonoiki/2015/06/24/thinking-aloud-with-ayo-in-conversation-with-kehinde-dacosta-lawrenceWed, 24 Jun 2015 20:00:00 GMTThinking Aloud with Ayo in conversation with Kehinde Dacosta-LawrenceSo, when I started Thinking Aloud with Ayo over 2 years ago, one of the very first people I contacted about being a guest on the show was Kehinde Dacosta-Lawrence (KDL) A man who wears very many hats, has a heart open to many and is blessed with oodles of wisdom.

He has given back to his community by setting up a foundation “GHETTO LOVE EMPOWERMENT FOUNDATION” which focuses on putting together a skill acquisition programme to empower the people of Ajegunle (Lagos' most resourceful slum) community.

To be able to do YOU regardless of what others around you say. Now of course there’s a thin line between doing you and being arrogant, disrespectful, obtuse and/or rude, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about recognising who you are, why you’re here and what you have to offer.  It’s about living out the box....  On tonight’s show, @Denrele Edun will be joining me to talk about all of this and more. What I admire most about him, is the total ease with which he seems to operate. Well of course, I’d love to find out if that is REALLY what’s going on, or if he’s had to adapt/change/blend in order to remain relevant in Naija society. From scandals to controversy ( that CharleyBoy kiss, his  sexuality, his hair, his clothes, his frame, Goldie, his family....his upcoming wedding(!))  sha, we’re having a no-holds barred convo, and it’ll be LIVE, no editing ;) Love him or hate him, you’ve surely got to respect him.

I spend quite a bit of time on social media and it still amazes me how… let’s say ‘different’ we all are. Is it possible to celebrate women you totally disagree with? Should we even be bothered about celebrating each other?  Is there a part in every woman that secretly rejoices when another woman (in the same situation/environment/industry as them) fails?
