$MASKS

Lagbaja is a Nigerian Afrobeat artist known for his unique music style and distinctive persona. He is always seen dressed in robes with a large straw hat and a  mask that covers his face. This  mask is what has come to be known as the ‘Lagbaja’ mask. So, why does Lagbaja cover his face?

There are a few stories that circulate about this. One story is that he was disfigured in a fire accident, and he uses the mask to cover his scars. Another story is the mask represents the many people in society who are not free to show their faces.

Whatever the reason, the Lagbaja mask has become an iconic symbol of the artist and his music. It reminds us that we all have our own stories and reasons for hiding our faces from the world.

Never knew what his reasons are, many would love to see the face behind the music

Same here.. I really want to see his real face @jizzyjoe
