So of course I slid into Actress Elvina Ibru's DM, and just had to get her into the studio. She said YES! and the rest was a conversation in palette. Pour your fav & enjoy! From Lagos with Love.

Satchmos Jazz Festival is the brainchild of Dolapo Ajayi. It was once one of the key events on every Listed Lagosian's festival calendar.
