If there’s anyone who can turn the daily chaos of Lagos into a musical moment, it’s Cobhams Asuquo. The award-winning producer and singer returns with “The Traffic Song,” and if you’ve ever found yourself trapped in a sea of honking cars, this one’s definitely for you.
Released alongside a cheeky, well-shot video, the track is a humorous yet honest ode to the madness that is Lagos traffic. With witty lyrics, sharp delivery and an Afropop rhythm, Cobhams captures the sighs, side-eyes and whispered prayers that accompany every go-slow and endless red light.
But beneath the laughter lies a clever bit of social commentary. Only Cobhams could give us a song that blends groove with grievance — a gentle reminder that, even in the most frustrating moments, music always finds a way to ease the tension.
Whether you’re heading to work or surviving your third hour on the road, “The Traffic Song” just might become your new favourite soundtrack.
