World soul music aficionados will recognize the name Siji from his previous releases, spanning the past 15 years. Last fall he dropped the single "Ijo," a collaboration with house maestro Alix Alvarez, on Sole Channel Music, and now he brings us the high-energy video shot on location in his hometown of Lagos, Nigeria. Within seconds of watching this, your shoulders might start to involuntarily shimmy, or you may even begin jacking your body out of nowhere. Don't be alarmed. That's just the Afrohouse groove making its way from your ears and into your bloodstream. Next thing you know, you'll be up out of your seat and dancing as if you're the one auditioning for a role in the clip. Even if you don't understand what Siji is saying (he's singing in Yoruba), you don't need a translator to enjoy this.
