The voice is unmistakably gentle and wistful, haunting and heartbreaking, reminiscent of the great Soul and Jazz artists of the 1960s and ’70s. Ola has performed on the largest festival stages worldwide including the main stage of the Montreal Jazz Festival. His album
Seven Shades Darker has been cited as a modern classic rooted in Soul and Blues, but at ease with mournful, complex African melodic lines.
