New Skool Ogene (NSO) is now a recognised music category on digital platforms Airaplay and SoundBridge — a milestone that moves the sound beyond one artist into a living, growing cultural framework open to creators across Africa and the world.
NSO becomes a dedicated music category on two major digital platforms — opening the sound system to wider participation and discovery beyond the founding catalogue.
WAVE — recorded at NSO System Studio — blends Oja flute, Ogene bell and saxophone ahead of the PAGES II September drop.
The lead single from PAGES II confirmed for August 26 — combining indigenous Igbo instrumentation with contemporary production and a completed music video.
Produced by Sparkzy Minded, mastered by Destro, directed by Thecinemafilms — a subtler, more internal evolution of the NSO sound.
The official music video for AVE celebrates gratitude, community and the role of women in preserving Igbo cultural identity.
A structured cultural sound positioned for modern global markets — a disciplined reinterpretation that structures indigenous rhythm within current production systems.
