The real face of always-masked afrobeat musician Lagbaja has reportedly been finally revealed to the audience. Since the early 90’s, Bisade “Lagbaja” Ologunde has managed to keep his face well hidden behind a mask. According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s facelessness.
Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means “nobody in particular”. It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”.
The mask and the name symbolise the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa.
But it seems we all have our curiosity chilled up as a picture alleged to be Lagbaja’s with his face left unmasked leaked on the Internet some time ago.
Now this picture surfaced as the real face of the musician.
