During the pre-launch press conference held at the Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos, Tiwa Savage, the renowned Nigerian artist, revealed the creative inspiration behind her latest cinematic project, “Water & Garri.”
Sincerely, the Afrobeat sensation disclosed that the concept for the film came to her during a moment of inebriation.
She recounted, “As I have mentioned previously, this idea dawned on me while I was under the influence in the solitude of my room. Upon sharing this notion with my exceptional team, they not only refrained from dismissing it but instead commended it as a stroke of genius.”
It is worth noting that Tiwa Savage had previously expressed that her initial passion was for acting, but she transitioned to music due to a romantic relationship.
The movie, now available on Prime Video, showcases Tiwa Savage in a prominent role and was skillfully directed by Meji Alabi.
Co-produced by Everything Savage and Unbound Studios, “Water & Garri” immerses the audience in the narrative of Aisha, a young woman who returns from the UK to discover her hometown of Cape Coast, Ghana, drastically altered from the one she left behind.
