RIP Dauda Epo Akara. RIP dad. I remember when my dad played this relaxing listening attentively to this in his sitting room, Accra, Ghana. I listened carefully to the rhythm and lyric. Rest in peace to all our dead, may Allah grant all Muslim eternal peace.
Kudos to the Drummer(s) and the shekere man. They made the music very danceable. You just couldn't help but shake it and get down with the music. Very exhiliariting. Thank you very much for this upload. You have contributed indelibly to the longevity of our culture.

Dauda Epo Akara was a great composer in the mold of Yusuf Olatunji, Sanusi Aka, Haruna Ishola, Lefty Balogun and the legend Abibu Oluwa. He was an Ibadan indigene a brick layer by original profession.
They usually have a primary profession before they break through in music. Omowura was a lorry driver or so too before he was discovered by his lead drummer Ajewole Onilu Ola.
When you listen to this old musics with their philosophical rendition, they touch your spirit and you imagine the rubbish being dished out by most musicians nowadays that are only meant for the clubs.
