Oroko, popularly known ‘Aush,’ has been in the music scene for quite a while. The amazing guitarist and vocalist signed to THELMA RECORDS sometime ago and released OXYGEN, as his debut single. It describes how life is going to practically be impossible without God, and is musically a fusion of African soft rock and a touch of soul music. Oroko is indeed one of those persons whose vocals is way outside the box and is appreciated by the audience each time he features at the Guest Writer Session.
The Guest Writer Session, which also features a raffle-draw for books, runs from 4-7pm and is open to the public. The Abuja Writer’s Forum also runs a weekly Critique Session and a regular Creative Writing Workshop series.
