Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo) to launch music album on January 25

Taiwo Hassan better known as Ogogo, has fixed the launch of his music album for later this month.

The respected actor has a long history in the acting world but surprised many further last year by announcing singing is not new to him.

‘I wouldn’t say something really prompted the idea because this is what I met in my family and Yoruba adage has it that family’s culture circulates from one generation to another. That is why I always pray that people shouldn’t come from a bad family. If the originator of the family was an armed robber, it is very obvious that this will be trending in the family forever and that is the meaning of the adage. I was born from a masquerade’s family in Ilaro, Ogun State and my grandparents have turned Muslim as far back as 20th century,’ he said on his involvement in music.

The album will be released on January 25, 2014 at 10 Degrees Event Centre, Lagos and will be chaired by former chairman of the Lagos chapter of National Union Road Transport Workers, Rafiu Olohunwa.

The event is billed to witness a special music performance by King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal.
