WEDDING SONGS You Need To Have On Your Playlist
Oruka – Sunny Neji
This is a classic Nigerian wedding song. For a while, it was the only Nigerian song on every wedding playlist. Great for the couples first dance. The Yoruba lyrics add a traditional vibe and there’s also enough English in the song for those who don’t understand Yoruba. But even if you don’t understand either language, the beat alone is good enough to move to with your partner on your special day.
Iyawo Mi – Timi Dakolo
God bless Timi Dakolo for this absolutely beautiful song. His mesmerizing voice coupled with the lyrics and great delivery, make this the perfect song for a couples dance at their wedding. I’m sure having Timi perform this live at their wedding is the dream of many couples.
Chop My Money – PSquare
I know some people are going to immediately disagree with this one, because it doesn’t sound like a typical love song. |They forget that money is a love language and the song is clearly saying CHOP MY MONEY. Now imagine the couple dancing into the reception venue while this song is playing and then the groom and his friends start spraying the bride. Too mad.
Ololufe – Wande Coal
This is the song that endeared Wande Coal to the hearts of many. A beautiful tune, with lyrics that are pretty much reinforcing your wedding vows to your partner make this a good choice to dance to.
Today Today – Eldee
If you’re trying to get crunk naija style with your first dance, then this is the song for you. Far from your regular mellow love song that’s typically played for the couple’s first dance, this one is an up tempo jam to really bust some moves to with your partner.
Golibe – Flavour N’abania
If you were ever looking for a love song for that very first slow dance, this is your best take. Some of Flavour’s best writing, singing and composing in his entire career and inspired by Anna Banner, Flavour will make you and your beloved leave your hearts right there on the dance floor.
Olo Mi – Tosin Martins.
This one is another classic Nigerian wedding song. It’s mostly in Yoruba so it sounds even more “authentic” and the instrumentals in the background make it a great romantic slow dance tune.
