3rd space : A Yoruba House Music Project

Founded in 2014 in Lagos, the creative agency Whitespace unearths and supports young visual artists (photographers, filmmakers, illustrators and art directors) by providing them with a working environment conducive to completing their projects, allowing it at the same time to develop a strong network within the West African creative sector.

The main objective of the project is to produce an album of Yoruba house music. The first step is to engage two separate groups, each consisting of 14 dancers and drummers, who will lay down ancient rhythms and songs over electronic music. The recorded performances will then be used to create an album.
