Flavor brings the past to the future with "Levels" this week on Godfrey Times African Rhythms.

 

Prosperity is a given for the people of Nigeria's south-east region. Money, fast and luxurious cars, the finest mansions, and the most up-to-date fashion styles are just a few of the hallmarks of their way of life.

But the fundamental identity of these people, who are the easiest to communicate with, is the rhythm, where there is fantastic singing and dancing — because what is the joy of singing, let alone dancing, if there is no rhythm?

And the beat of Flavor's new song "Levels" says it all: Flavor went back to the basics — to the beginning — the rhythm is from the past. It is for this reason that the Ndigbo people, as a wonderful tribe of Nigerian strength and vigor, are truly known and admired.

Flavour has just drawn a line (come and beat this if you can) in a world where Nigerian musicians are delighting African music lovers with technology modernized beats. This song showcases the true rhythm of these beautiful people of Nigeria who are very easy to embrace.

Kanayo O. Kanayo, Cubana Chiefpriest, Yul Edochie, Zubby Michael, and other famous Ndigbo public figures featured throughout the video) added to the song's culture-driven character.

If you are a Nigerian, whether Yoruba, Hausa, or a member of one of Nigeria's other rich and powerful tribes, you should be proud of what Flavour has accomplished with this song. Whether you understand what he's singing or not, the beat makes you want to dance.

Whether you are a Nigerian or not, dance to this marvelous rhythmic blessing from Nigeria this week on Godfrey Times African Rhythms (GTAR).
