Background notes

Archive material and source history

Old Kainry came together in Lagos in the early 2000s, with Ayo 'Eko' Adekeye out front on vocals and guitar. They put out their first single 'African Princess' in 2008, a song that caught on for its rhythm and its celebration of African women. The track helped them find an audience beyond Nigeria.

Their sound pulls from Afrobeat but also takes in funk and soul. They've released albums like 'Oya Time' in 2010 and 'Roots & Branches' in 2014. Other songs in their catalog include 'Agrévolution' and 'De Park Hill à 91 pise', which show their range from political themes to more personal storytelling.

Over time, the band's lineup has included musicians like Wale Adepoju on bass, Ayo Banjo on drums, and backup vocalist Funmilayo 'Funmi Vibes' Adeogun. They faced a legal dispute over their music in 2015, but kept working afterward.
