Seun Olota

Loading player...
With fresh sounds from around the world, the feature is an Afrobeat explosion - inspired by our special guest Seun Olota.
Simply known as Olota, this Nigerian Afro-fusion artist has ‘built his music niche within the context of dance music, hymnal, choral and therapeutic music with original compositions for strings, percussion, brass, and wood wind instruments’.
Olota encapsulates the African experience - he’s an art devotee, an advocate for persons living with special needs, and as a musician he’s performed at key festivals and events across the continent!
As a 2019 Laureate of the Institute Francais ‘Visa For Creation Residency Program’ , Olota is currently a fellow resident at the Cite International Des Arts, with me in Paris.
