This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we go behind the scenes with Yodé Olubajo. Born in London, raised in Lagos, he later lived in Venice, where he was known for his cabaret performances and parties. He speaks four languages—English, Yoruba, Italian and Spanish—and is known for his fun, flamboyant personality and style.
He later moved to Barcelona, and in 2022, he created the jazz club and piano bar, Velvet Room born out of a sense of nostalgia for the sophistication and glamour of the 1940s and 1950s.
