[@navalpanic12]

I have not heard of this style of music before. Fender, I want to thank you so much for opening my ears and the ears of the world to these wonderful musicians! As a bassist, I was immediately intrigued by that smooth and moving bass rhythm. I would love to study this rhythm that he is playing. It made me get up and dance! Do I understand the culture, no but I don't need to. I understand love which I richly appreciate that these gentlemen are all about spreading. Music knows no language nor is it held in place by borders. It is to be enjoyed. I love seeing how energetic they were in the video as they were performing. Such a great clip!

[@kingsmanbeats9475]

It is called highlife music. They do it uniquely.

[@navalpanic12]

@@kingsmanbeats9475 Thank you! I will definitely be checking out their music!

[@kofosuonbass]

Copy and paste. You said it all. @Jose Mendoza 🙌

[@uzochukwujohnson5993]

I like the fact that you embraced this genre of music, and open to venture into it. It shows the love and spirit of music. Highlife music to the world.

[@navalpanic12]

@@uzochukwujohnson5993 Absolutely! I'm listening to these rhythms and hearing multiple influences that are present. You cannot deny that moving rhythm that makes you want to dance. Such wonderful music!

The Cavemen & Nsikak 🇳🇬 + The Compozers 🇬🇭 killed that ‘Selense’ performance.

[@justinadzovie849]

Why is no one talking about the visual production? The fact that all the performances are Steadicam oners, camera movement is very intentional based on the vibe of the music and the lighting makes this production one of my top 3 live recordings. Kudos to whoever contributed to pulling this magic!!!.

[@olamiposioyedele1161]

Flowers be given. The media is just as good as the instrumentals

[@thetormentor07]

I quit my job last month as a site Engineer because for a full year, my employer did not give me a single break to even allow me attend any of The cavemen's show. It was an abusive job that forced me on a 11 working hours and six days a week. Cavemen however kept me going. Their music was basically my source of mental relaxation. Now I'm in Abuja, I'll be looking forward to their next show.

[@o.t9358]

To people listening to this kind of music for the first time, Welcome to highlife

As a Nigerian that listens to the cavemen, i'm super proud these guys made it on here!!!!

[@saxofix4456]

Whoever thought of combining The Cavemen with The Compozers is a genius. The performance of Selense was magical and effortless, so much synergy. The drummers and the bassists never clashed once! 😭😩🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍

I need to put this out here: Playing fast rhythms and singing along on Bass and Drums is another talent on its own. Not much are gifted with that ability. It's safe to say that Benjamin Okorie of The Cavemen is up to par with Anderson Paak. Thank you Fender!

[@blessingajisafe6915]

Yea. Its such a magic I cant put it together. I still dont know how they do it.

I just love each song on that album. Great music and vibes!
