The Cavemen - New East Festival

Highlife musicians Kingsley Okorie & Benjamin James have answered the deep call of a generation creating music that is the embodiment of the evolution of culture. Reminding us through their crafting of highlife music that we can evolve from a natural state, they come with all the history yet a modernity that is hard to explain. They are simply the future of the sound.

I don't understand the Igbo language but I believe them. This is what a Nigerian Music should sound like. Not the noise that has polluted the entire airwaves and media today. I will pay to watch them all day long. Makes me want to learn this amazing language!!!

[@chidozieuzoegwu4056]

You captured this perfectly

[@olusegun_]

It’s scary how good these guys are. I hope they get the recognition they deserve worldwide.

[@austinochoifeoma6587]

They should tour after this covid madness is done. I know I will pay to see em in Los Angeles. They're freaking awesome.

[@joyobah5991]

Segun and Tobi, I see you guys... These guys give me goosebumps.

[@visioinspiron9380]

[@mbasseman8386]

Playing instrument and singing is hard like having first class in ur degree, this guys have paid d price, outstanding groovy

[@osayogieiyekekpolor1869]
