My heart is racing, body shaking, moving to the beat of love, love, love making....!!!

  

DOLAPO also known as The Voice of Spoken-Word in Africa is a phenomenon!

A connoisseur of simple words skillfully woven to form lines that pull all senses wherever she chooses to take them. Delivered with a sultry, sonorous voice, 'DOLAPO transfixes all audiences.

Her stage performances are a blend of neo-soul musicality with a percussion based aesthetic, skilfully led by her powerful vocal delivery in both song and word. With this she infuses her original body movements giving the spectator a full round, total theatrical experience.
Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria as Oluwadolapo E. Ogunwale, the one simply known as 'DOLAPO - The Voice of Spoken-Word in Africa - is one to watch. She is currently working on her first single.
