Celebrated musical couple, Tunde and Wunmi Obe, aka TWO, in a rare gesture, have chosen to celebrate renowned reggae musicians around the world, including the legendary Bob Marley, Lucky Dube and Orits Wiliki, in their latest music video titled, ‘Rise Up’.
The track ‘Rise-Up’ is one of the songs in the group’s current album, ‘TWO Plus’. Described as unique and a slight departure from the group’s original music style, there is an indication that the song was exclusively written and composed for the enjoyment of all reggae fans in the world.
“Rise Up is an up-tempo roots-rock reggae beat that is meant to take reggae fans on a nostalgic journey back to the 1980s, when reggae really held sway in Nigeria. With this song, we are celebrating and honouring music legends, such as Orits Wiliki, Lucky Dube and Bob Marley, who have inspired us in one way or the other,” the group noted in a statement.
The video was directed by Clarence Peters.
Over the past two decades, TWO’s creative genius has yielded not less than five successful albums, such as ‘T.W.O 4 Real,’ ‘T.W.O. Legit’, as well as the 2005 smash hits Mogbomoya and Adupe.
