Michael Olatuja & Lagos Pepper Soup
Michael Olatuja performed two separate sets at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit on Friday, August 27, 2021, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The Nigerian-born bassist blends the sounds and cultures of three continents in his unique jazz style.
Michael Olatuja developed his musical career across Lagos, London, and New York, mixing Yoruba traditions with jazz, pop, and Broadway influences. His album Lagos Pepper Soup features artists like Angelique Kidjo and Dianne Reeves, showcasing a rich fusion of genres. At Cliff Bell’s, he highlighted his melodic bass playing and production in a sound he calls Cinematic Afrobeat, crafting music that feels like a movie soundtrack the world hasn’t heard yet.
