In this episode of Afro Soul Stories, we speak with Nigerian percussionist and two-time Grammy Award winner Lekan Babalola.

From growing up in Lagos and connections to the world of Fela Kuti, to collaborations with artists such as Ali Farka Touré, Roy Ayers and Cassandra Wilson, Babalola reflects on a remarkable musical journey.

We also discuss his latest project, The Sacred Arts of Odu Ifa, exploring Yoruba spirituality, music and cultural heritage.
