Brief Intro of the song "Alhadji"
Naomi wrote the song Alhadji during her international travels in late 2010. The concept started in the United States when several of her fans and producers asked Naomi to write a song in Pidgin English so they could connect with her even more. This song was written by Naomi Achu and Produced by Emil Molindo Ngumbah, CEO and Producer at M1 Studio. Back up vocals were done by Abigail Doh and Naomi herself. The final mixing and sound engineering was done at at Dream Recording Studio with Walta Blackson in Maryland. Since then Alhadji has given Naomi a style of her own. Alhadji, in the context of this song means "man of status and prestige". It is a concept that was designed to bring many cultures together. A funky hip hop beat, the use of English, Pidgin English, French and some Yoruba combined different ethnicities.
