Dunsin Oyekan is a Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter. Kaabo is the first song off his album titled “The Glory Experience (Songs of Zion.)
What is the song Kaabo by Dunsin Oyekan all about?
Kaabo is a Yoruba word in Nigeria that means welcome. The song is already self-explanatory. The artist in the song reverences his maker, King of Kings- Jesus, and welcomes Him in their midst. In this regard, Dunsin is awaiting the presence of the Lord. This is because the presence of the Lord turns around all situations and makes all things good.
Also, the song may be talking about “The second coming,” of our Lord Jesus Christ. All believers are expecting the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ which the artist sang in the chorus. View below-
“Ati ‘n retire O (Kaabo) (We have been expecting You, welcome!)
Ati ‘n retire O (Kaabo) (We have been expecting You, welcome!)”
