“Baby Girl” by Beninese artist Nel Oliver, recorded in the late 1980s, is a heartfelt, multilingual song (English, French, Yoruba, and Gun) that captures a father’s blend of love, pride, and quiet sadness as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day. It beautifully reflects the bittersweet reality of watching a child grow up and begin a new chapter of her own.
By God’s grace, I’ll be playing this song for my daughters on their wedding day. 🎈🎊
