Listen to Olowo Ori Mi by AiRis

After an almost 2 year hiatus to focus on her record label, AiRis branched out in a big way with a new and impressive business venture. On her break, she was working hard to contribute in making an impact in the music industry by officially launching her very own recording studio; Airis Music Studios which is located at 35b Agodogba Avenue, Park View Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.

Noteworthy growing clientele of AiRis Music Studios include Les Nubians among others. There is also a 12-week course available for aspiring Musicians, Recording artists and Producers to learn musical instruments like the guitar, drums, saxophone, violin and the piano. AiRis proves that she is not just a singer/ songwriter but a music enthusiast and a business woman who is passionate about music and artist development.

Olowo Ori Mi is an upbeat Afro-pop romantic song laced with AiRis’ soulful vocals with Yoruba infusions highlighting the chorus for that Afro effect. With the infusion of a Saxophone and dance instruments, upbeat and groovy, this single will get you dancing all the way. This might just become the next wedding party/love song staple. It’s an ideal song for the “lovers’ season”. To listen to the song by playing the ‘mp3′ above.

TRAILER

SYNOPSIS

The movie tells the story of three co-workers (car mechanics to be exact), two of them married and one single. The character of “Ajegunle”, one of the co-workers played by Oscar Atuma (Awolowo of My American Nurse & Okoto the Messenger), who is married to the character “Funke “ played by Nigeria’s Hollywood based International actress and model, Eeefy Ify Ike. Ajegunle is a good man who loves his wife, and treats her like a queen, but his co-worker and friend “Kumasi” see’s him as a weak man and calls him “woman wrapper”. On the other hand, the character of “Kumasi” ,played by Nigeria’s Hollywood based International actor and comedian, Pascal Atuma (Hurricane in the Rose Garden, Only in America, My American Nurse, Okoto the Messenger etc) , is married to the character “Ngozi” played by Seun Maduka ( Adanma of My American Nurse 2) . Kumasi is a “chauvinist” and very abusive husband, physically and verbally, who thinks that his wife “Ngozi” should worship and serve him because he is the man. He also cheats on her with other women without remorse, the worst husband any woman will dream for.

The third co-worker whose character name is “Maliki” played by Nollywood’s celebrated superstar, the one and only Jim Iyke (One Dollar, Two dollars etc) is the single one, and understudies both marriages to see which one will survive, and whoever his marriage survives will be called “The Man”—The “woman wrapper” as our people call it or the “chauvinistic man of the house”, who will survive at the end?? It is total drama, told in a comedic form, will be very entertaining and informative, kind of an eye opener and mirror into most African marriages in diaspora and at home. The movie addresses the problem of domestic violence and total abuse which is destroying many marriages and homes all over the world.

It also features Nollywood veteran actress Philomena Ochei (Only in America) and other rising stars, namely Naja Mathews, Yollande Kayembe, Serge Murphy Ukah, Stanley Atuma, Cedrick Walton, Cynthia Chioma Nwaubani, Maureen Onyechere etc.

SYNOPSIS: What shapes the future? Our circumstances or the words of our parents?

From a very young age, Janet was groomed to be the best she can be. Inspiring words of wisdom echoes from her mother’s mouth to her ear daily, preparing her for the world she will later face alone. If there was a Manuel to raise a child, we could say her mother was a perfect Manuel, so how did Janet now slide down the pole of a nightly strip club while a raunchy crowd of men demands for more?

The last words her mother spoke to her was “my child hold tight to my good advice and keep them, let it shape your world and never departs your heart” Now there is an ongoing battle, a battle between the inner echoes of her mother’s words and her circumstance. Who will win this battle, her inner self or her circumstance? Will a greater power from above interfere? Find out in X-class if life‘s battle is won by strength or only by Grace
