[Grab Your DÒDÒ](https://www.drinkdodo.com/?ref=marmaladecollective.com) --- ## What We're... 📰 **Reading:** [**Andrew Dosunmu on Nataal**](https://nataal.com/andrew-dosunmu-2024?ref=marmaladecollective.com)**.** The Nigerian artist discusses his ART X Lagos exhibition, Restless Cities: From Lagos to the World. A Lagosian by heritage, birth, and upbringing, and with creative roots spreading far across the world, Andrew Dosunmu is one whose story requires little introduction. 🎧 **Listening to:** [**Davido's first single of the year, Awuke**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzzvXGhq1JU&ref=marmaladecollective.com). Like many of his greatest songs, “Awuke” is a celebration of Davido’s infatuation with his love interest, replete with the kind of effusive, instantly memorable lines that are his trademark. *“Your body na chairman/I loyal gan”* and *“This kind of love na sweet jollof/and I dey knock for your door”* are the kinds of couplets primed for communal screaming at parties and Davido’s live shows. 📺 **Watching:** [**Pop the Balloon or Find Love UK**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C6kqCr98YY&ref=marmaladecollective.com) hosted by Marmalade member, Yemi A. 🎟️ **Booking:** [**Chiamaka Okike x Hotel Zamara: Seeri Pop Up**](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/chiamaka-okike-x-hotel-zamara-seeri-pop-up-tickets-1049884411537?ref=marmaladecollective.com).
