Great juju music. Nostalgic. Akerele street Surulere 1975. 8 years old then. Those guitar vibes at the intro were laid in my genes. Oh maeeeen! This music in engrained in me.
That intro really superb and classic... such string play make me love chinese song so much even when I don't hear what they are singing, never knew that we as well play such tune in the past...
Grew up in Surulere off Adeniran Ogunsanya....A quiet cul de sac called- Adeniyi Jakande Close. That stadium bridge was built right in our presence and was a playground until it completed. There was no barrier to climb and run on it before it was fully completed. Same age in 1975. Great time to grow up in Lagos, Nigeria.
@@Bizz2k Sure it was a great time to grow up. Dele Abiodun, Ebenezer Obey, Orlando Owoh, Enugu Rangers, Stationary Stores, Honda Benly Super...ah the times...
Nothing like old music, it`s like a terrapy to me it`s refreshes my soul and body, i always feel relax and very happy whenever i listen to any old music, this is the time of cartridge and music plate and cassette, this is the time musician thing very well to compose music, this is the time people behave well in the society.
This track conjures up images of enchanted realms made familiar only by persuasive rhythm, pulsating beat, and any number of idiophones. This is awesome.
I was twelve years old when this music was produced. I can hear some bitterness in between then in 9JA music. If you listen to American music in those days...they co-produced. For example I was surprised to see Kevin Spencer (Dynasty) playing keyboards for Shalamar..SOLAR records. Abanije..stop it. Covid-19 has stopped it anyway
This LP was waxed at a time Juju music was at its best and unparalleled. I am fortunate to belong to this era when we had notable players like Emperor Pick Peters, King Sunny Ade, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, Idown Animashaun, Hauja Bello, Tony Adex, Bob Aladeniyi, and General Prince Adekunle. Wish Juju would be revived soon.
You are right @Same Oris...as a matter of fact Tunde Nightingale was a little of older generate and saw IK Dairo's brand as a younger brand that will soon fade way.
This song is making me to remember my childhood days, Primary School days, my very senior aunties and my senior brothers. Time cannot be rolled to the back. Kudos, Dele Abiodun
i wan you guys to watch those who loves old music, the way they behave in the society. they don't rush in doing things, they think before doing, most of this old music teaches patience, endourance, and encourage you, even warn you of so many dangers ahead of you. but see what is going on in the society now, no more good music, OMA SE OOOO.
Oh my God , i was growing when this record was released with the thought i was listening to KSA, . Recently i met him in ibadan Jogor centre. What a nostalgia.
I just love his subtle sweet voice. His music is relaxing and really easy to dance.💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🪘💃🪘💃🪘💃🪘💃🪘💃💃🪘💃🪘💃💃🪘. I love his use of local musical instruments, gangan, sekere, agogo sound guitar 🎸 ♥ ❤ 🎶
Dele Abiodun yu dd a very good job Pls dele abiodun come out again, yu still hv more to give people especially dis time around in election period we need yu more to develop our country i love yu love king sunny ade I'm one of ur fans ever since wen yu ar stayin jn sungas at igboigunu on way to bajulayie road,come out emperor pik piter is plan to come out as well, both of yu ar still more to give us
This reminds me of when I was child and my parents would play this music in the background, using the old tape players. This is the closest I will get to my roots.
It pains me as Dele Abiodun stop singing at his prime age, it was a sort of inspiration to us when we are in secondary schools in those days, to me is like buried talents,
I don't believe this. The first time i heard this recording was in 2001, on a Nigerian radio station in London. I had no idea that it was released in 1976. And i had no idea that it was Dele Abiodun who recorded it. It would be interesting to find out many copies this record sold at the time.
Its just amazing since decade,this sound keep rocking!I dont know why the younger generation left this for the total madness!When I listen to the current Nijah mainstream music I m about to cry and I keep asking myself what went wrong to miss the road! Is any chance to see any emerging young talent to promote this old school Juju music?.....All the way from Senegal...Greetings!
Our traditional rulers, being custodians of our culture have failed! They have allowed English language to very gradually be replacing our local languages. Songs like this can only be sung when a person has a mastery of Yoruba and it can only be truly appreciated and enjoyed by listening ears that have a genuine and proper grip of Yoruba language. That's something that is currently going into extinction in Yoruba land. Most can hardly speak fluent Yoruba without mixing English!
Omo Ode was never a bad person. Never. The fight was marketing strategy then. You would want to listen to either Dele, Pick Peter, Sunny Ade or Obey to judge who among them could abuse each other most. Today, Obey is best friend to Sunny. Dele is equally so to Emperor Pick Peter. Infact, Dele Abiodun and Pick Peter performed together this year 2017 at a function bringing forth beautiful song tracks from their oldies. You need to see how close these old guys are.
