Baba Olatunji & his Drums of Passion- Ajaja 

Baba the best of the best. My brother James played with him. I only seen them perform twice. It was spell bounding. They actually put your mind and soul in the natural environment. Great Performer. Very pleasant and loved people. A true God send from Nigeria to America. Great gift from God. Love you Baba James' sister

I was at this show. I never experienced anything quite like the DoP set. We went deeper than deep, and higher than Andromeda. Simply stunning. I was about 30 feet from the stage, right in from of Baba, wave when you see me.

My son was still in a stroller and I took him and his sister to see Baba.

my uncle.bless your soul. You are the best at what you you do.

I recorded this show off the radio. the interview with him was wonderful. I'm still trying to find a copy of it. I would love to hear this whole set. Thank you for the music Baba!

So powerful! I'm proud of being a Yoruba. ❤

Thank you for posting this video. Like many people, Babatunde Olatunji was my first introduction to traditional African music & dance. I included this video & examples of comments from this thread in a post on my cultural blog. Google Made Up RU-vid User Names In Two Olatunji Comment Threads That post showcases the video & also documents the use of made up names on RU-vid, a practice that may not last for much longer. Thanks again!
