About "Wasalu" by Babatunde Olatunji
A driving, mid-tempo groove anchors 'Wasalu,' its title a name that rings out like a greeting. Olatunji's ensemble locks into a tight, conversational rhythm, with call-and-response vocals cutting through the dense percussion. The track balances a relaxed swagger with an undercurrent of ceremonial purpose—music for both the dance floor and the shrine.
