Hello everyone , I’m @diduoflagos and this is my entry for Afritunes week 112

Today, I'm thrilled to share something very close to my heart a performance of the beautiful song Nakupenda by Chike featuring Ric Hassani. This song holds a special place in my heart because it's not just about love, but about the depth and beauty of human connection.

As I prepared for this performance, I found myself captivated by the soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics of "Nakupenda." There's a rawness and vulnerability to the song that resonates with me deeply, reminding me of the power and complexity of love in all its forms.

Recording this cover was a truly emotional experience for me. With each note sung, each word uttered in harmony, I felt like I was pouring my heart out to the world, baring my soul in a way that only music can allow.

So, as you watch this performance, I invite you to join me in celebrating the magic of love and connection. Whether you're in the arms of your loved one or cherishing the memories of a past romance, I hope "Nakupenda" touches your heart and stirs your soul.

And if this song resonates with you as deeply as it does with me, I encourage you to share it with those you hold dear. Because music has this incredible ability to bring us closer together, to bridge the gaps between us, and to remind us that love is the greatest force of all.

Thank you for being a part of this musical journey with me.

Here's to celebrating love in all its beauty and complexity, and to the timeless power of music to touch our souls.

SONG LYRICS

I know you lookin' at me
You watchin' me like TV
You lookin' at me three times in a row
If you want to say hello
Just say hello
I think you look so pretty
You look like spaghetti
Like you are needin' some love
I don't know but I've seen that look before
And if you don't say hello
I will say hello
Nakupenda nakupenda
Nakupenda nakupenda o
Oh, my baby, Isom aga
Oh, baby, Isom aga oyo
Nakupenda nakupenda o
Nakupenda nakupenda yeah
Oh, my baby, Isom aga
My baby, Isom aga oyo
How would you know that I'm the one for you?
That you're the one for me, if you don't say hello?
Just say hello
I saw you lookin' at him
But you're the one I'm feelin'
Been lookin' at you four times in a row
I had to let you know
So I came to say hello
I know you need somebody
Don't care about the money
You only need someone to hold you close
And if you tell me no (if you tell me no)
I'll still say hello
Hello
Nakupenda nakupenda (oyi n'atum o)
Nakupenda nakupenda o
O my baby Isom aga
Oh, my baby Isom aga oyo
Nakupenda nakupenda o
Nakupenda nakupenda yeah
Oh, my baby Isom aga
Oh, my baby Isom aga oyo
How will you know that I'm the one for you?
That you're the one for me, if you don't say hello?
I go treat you like gold
I go make you my own
I know what you're lookin' for, and I got it all
I know he has it all (he has it all) but I have it more
I'll give you what you need if you open the door
I say hello
