If you have not seen a classical singer sing in Badagry, then you have to meet Ganthonu Odevivi Mayowa, a delectable mezzo soprano and guitarist. Odevivi just graduated the MUSON diploma school of music, set of 2021, sponsored by the MTN foundation scholarship, where she sang a badagry song on the muson stage for her final recital.

The song was a wild contrast from the other classical numbers she had performed that evening. When the rhythmic African drumming started, the whole crowd erupted. Odevivi sang like a true African and also danced the famous badagry dance.
