Ola Onabule

PROOF OF LIFE, produced and recorded at Onabulé’s Casa Del Funk Studios, showcases the synergy between two artists as they explore culturally diverse concepts and themes. Their partnership began during pandemic livestreams and evolved into a collection of 10 original songs. “Proof of Life” is a blend of Onabulé’s signature songwriting style of polyrhythms and African rooted melodies with guitar player Meier’s love of eastern, world and Jazz themes. It's a work with a rich tapestry of sound resonating with themes of love, life and philosophies of survival. Songs written by a process of organic collaboration, where both artists contributed ideas and melodies, in a cohesive body of work that captures individual strengths while exploring creative boundaries were new to both artists.
