Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alekun formed in Lagos around vocalist Baka, who had been performing on the streets before joining with bassist Tunde Oluwa and drummer Akin Akinsanya. Their sound mixed Afrobeat with funk and soul. In 2017, their debut single 'Baka' caught on with its melody and direct lyrics about city life, which connected with listeners and brought the band wider attention.
After that first single, they kept putting out music that dealt with social issues. Songs like 'No Man's Land' in 2018 and 'Fire' in 2019 continued in that vein. Their lyrics sometimes got them into trouble, like in 2021 when 'Speak Your Truth' led to arguments about free speech and government criticism.
Over time, their music absorbed other influences, including rock and jazz along with African rhythms. They didn't stick to one formula, but kept working with the blend they'd started with.
