▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello Afri-tunes community, it's week #130 of our weekly contest and I'm really really excited about this one. I'd be performing the secular song as suggested in the community. I'd be doing an acapella cover of Teni's Uyo Meyo.

Uyo Meyo is a traditional Ondo dialect in Nigeria that talks about rejoicing and happiness. It literally means the joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too, the way I celebrate with other people...I also shall be celebrated. It's more like a prayer of hope,having faith and believing your time would also come. "I will keep clapping for others happily until it's my turn". Your time to shine would come, your glorious day would come, keep pushing, keep working hard and keep clapping for others for your time would surely come.

I have chosen this song because I know how it feels to second guess yourself, seeing people around you do so well, even those that don't know as much as you do or aren't as learned as you are being so prosperous and living a great life that you really pray and wish for. Trust me I'm at that point in my life but I won't let that weigh me down because I know my time would surely come soonest, meanwhile I keep celebrating with people who are doing well happily without any envy or hate in my heart while working hard and trying my best...I know I also would celebrated as well. The song is more like a prayer for me and it encourages me always to keep going. It's one of my all time favourite songs as well with great vocals and instrumentation. Although the song is about 5 years old now but then it's always refreshing to listen to. The song is really powerful and conveys deep meaning.

I do hope you all enjoy 🎧 my expression of this beautiful piece, and my message to everyone who comes across this post is to keep rejoicing with others happily, your day of rejoicing is closer than you think..Keep pushing, keep moving. Love and light 🤍.
