Dressed in a white crop top that teased a black bra and showed off a firm torso, the 37-year-old got the crowd into sing-alongs as she performed the early hits Fire on the Mountain and Jailer from her self-titled first album.
It was a performance that picked some of the greatest songs from her quarter-of-a-century oeuvre and highlighted what would be the future path for the singer-songwriter.
Since dropping her hit ballad “Eye Adaba” in 2006, Asa, born Bukola Elemide, has serenaded broken hearts while filling the dance floor with excited revellers. In Berlin on Monday night, Asa took us down memory lane as she sang her classics backed up by her five-person band. She also performed songs from her 2019 album, The international audience danced to her more up-tempo offerings “Why Can´t We” and “Be My Man”.
As she continues to make great music and tour some of the biggest cities in the world, one still wonders why Asa has not yet earned a Grammy nomination like her Nigerian contemporaries Seun Kuti and Burna Boy? Her style is one of the better musical exports from Nigeria in the last decade. Surely Asa deserves more credit than she has received so far.
