Moonlight101 comes through with a fresh tune spiced with culture and folktale. He explores his talent as a singer-songwriter and also as an excellent storyteller. Ogbanjeje is produced by Signechor Vybez of Sound of Heartbeatx. The song is also infused with Oja performed by Hyspyrit Oja.
Ogbanjeje starts and ends with the rendition of the enchanting Oja (flute), known in the Igbo culture as a highly spiritual musical instrument. Oja has found its way into mainstream music, it has been a backbone and viral sensation in songs like Ojapiano by Kcee, Kolapiano by Kolaboy and its influence continues to spread. While others are blending the sound with Amapiano, Moonlight101 has maintained the original way Oja is best known in the Igbo communities before the coming of Western Civilization.
He tells the story of a strong ant (Danda) which is chorused in the song. Ogbanjeje is a folksong that has a very great quality both in delivery and production that sets it wide apart from what we are all used to, irrespective of the ancient sound, there is still a high level of fresh creativity and contemporary glamour packed in the song.
