Ariya Repete, a talent hunt competition for indigenous Yoruba music, has returned with another edition, tagged Ariya Repete – Omoluabi Special.
Initially conceptualized as a platform for budding Fuji artistes, called Fuji to Bam, the showpiece quickly evolved to a spectacle for more indigenous genres, including juju music and Yoruba hip-pop and was on TV last year as a reality talent show.

Over the years, we have been able to delight our consumers with this initiative, as well as, provide some unforgettable memories for a lot of winners and viewers of past editions.
