“Iba” is one of Asa’s most spiritually conscious songs, a work that moves beyond melody and steps into reverence. The word “Iba” in Yoruba means homage, respect or salute. Through this track, Asa offers a deep bow to the ancestors, to the divine, and to all the forces that shape a life from the unseen. She sings with the humility of someone who understands that existence is larger than personal effort, that there are powers, blessings, and histories guiding each step.
