Culture
The sound of indefinable longing.
Richard tells the stories of Africa’s history and culture through music. His band documents traditional songs for posterity, translated into English and French, and one instrument leads: the pan flute, which he plays himself.
The story
The brand story, filmed in 2020: who Meseko is, and why the culture has to be carried to its next generation.

The instrument
The pan flute
Of all the instruments in the band, the pan flute is the one he plays himself: breath across a row of reeds, warm and unhurried, with a drummer and a violinist beside him.
Heritage
A prince of Alasorin
He is a descendant of the royal household of Alasorin in Nigeria, and fascinated by the dynamic legacy of the continent. His conviction: financial inclusion comes first, so that Africans in the diaspora can connect with and support their families, their people and their culture. Cultural inclusion follows.
Music and stories
He leads a band that documents traditional music for posterity, with the songs translated into English and French so more people can hear what they say.

Culture is the lifebuoy of the people.
Life of a seeker
To some degree we are all seekers. Markets, carvers, the city after dark and the quiet of the garden: the world he carries with him.
