The weekend starts here #Nigerianmusichistory

SIJI Sheffield DocFest RAI FILM Festival Fantastic film! And if you want to hear more from the director, SIJI catch our podcast where he chats to.Lovejit about music and more!

"The music was the best way to tell Nigeria's history because they're so closely intertwined. Whatever was going on in the country at any point in time was reflected - we're newly independent, we can rule ourselves now, it's in the music." SIJI on Elder's Corner #RAIFF2021

I watched #documentary #EldersCorner the other day and was moved by the history playing out in front of me. So many legends still in fine form and with much to teach us. Director SIJI and team sure put in the work – a long and patient journey. Rent: festival.raifilm.org.uk/film/elders-co…

You can hear more from the director SIJI, when @Lovejitd speaks to him for our podcast!!!

SIJI Totally absorbed. You met so many beautiful souls. The film reminded me of the commitment required to tell stories like this. They take time to uncover, right. Lots of records to buy now that I probably can’t afford 😂
