About this Song
The pursuit of framing recorded music as a living, breathing extension of the craft that birthed it runs through every choice that shaped the collective that brings Himalaya (Live) to audiences, a pop sound rooted in Nigeria that carries the weight of years of deliberate artistic development and shared creative purpose. That commitment to centering the warmth and immediacy of live performance is baked into the very identity of MALIQ & D’Essentials, the group behind the recording, which was conceived on May 15, 2002, built around an ethos they named Organic Music, a framework that rejects the idea of recorded work as a static product, leaning into the same in-the-moment energy that makes live performance such a transformative space for both creators and listeners.
