In a Nigerian city caught between the visible world and the realm of spirits, Azaro—an abiku child, destined to die and be reborn again and again—chooses to remain among the living. In Songs of Enchantment, he continues to navigate this fragile existence, where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural are constantly shifting. Spirits whisper, forces unseen shape daily life, and the struggles of the poor unfold under the shadow of political unrest and corruption.

As Azaro’s family fights to survive, his father dreams of a better future and becomes increasingly entangled in the chaos of a society on the brink of change. Their journey is marked by hardship, resilience, and moments of strange beauty, as the spirit world both haunts and protects them. Through Azaro’s eyes, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, revealing a deeper truth beneath the surface of everyday life.

Richly layered and lyrical, Songs of Enchantment blends myth and reality into a powerful meditation on hope, suffering, and the enduring spirit of a people. It is a story of survival and transformation, where enchantment and struggle exist side by side in a world alive with unseen forces.
