Lighthouse Family is back!

The sensational British musical duo, Babatunde Emmanuel Baiyewu and Paul Tucker;  is back! Vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker formed the act in 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK after they met while in different universities and working together in the same bar.

Tunde, born British to a Nigerian mother; relocated to Nigeria to find and love his root then later moved back to England in a journey that would lead him to find Paul to kick start what later becomes slow and easy to dig music style.

The duo gave birth to music that rock the world in the mid 90s and early 2000s. "I recalled hearing 'High' on the radio in Nigeria and right there they just blew my mind.  Their songs always  contain lots of figure of speech that easily set the right mood for me but nothing compares to the joy that follows after I discovered Tunde is Nigerian-British.

I became a huge fan; listening to almost everything ever released by Lighthouse Family and just as I became that they left separate ways! Is almost difficult for me to choose as they both became something extra-ordinary."

"Tunde went solo, Paul joined The Orange Lights and I went exile in 2006 but every now and then I keep tabs on each of them to listen to what they are both producing but I later found solace in another Nigerian-British musician (Seal)."

Nothing delightful to a lonely child who finds out that his separated parents are coming back together and this re-union would give birth to a child -"Blue Sky In Your Head". They are back with a banger for all the 18 years the worms have eaten for us!
