This project fuses documentary storytelling with music video aesthetics to capture the spiritual and musical heartbeat of Ilorin. We'll film at the historic Al-Habib Mosque, where the call to prayer echoes through ancient walls, and contrast it with the vibrant energy of a live Afrobeat jam session at the Ilorin Innovation Hub. The narrative follows a local musician as they discover the roots of their sound in the city's traditional Islamic chants, known as 'Waka', and reimagine them for a contemporary audience. The unique blend of sacred and secular, old and new, creates a visually stunning and emotionally resonant piece that celebrates Ilorin's cultural duality.
