Every interview has something new and unique. Never boring. 2 hrs will roll by without one realizing it. Thank you Mr Agbaletu. May God continue to bless the artistes who're still alive with sound health.
I wonder why these musicians of old were viewed as "alagbe" by the society then. Most of them interviewed by Agbaletu are very intelligent hard working and articulate.
I love Sir Guinea who, although appears to have had limited formal education, but must be celebrated for having had native marketing intelligence and strong commercial experience in those yester years. It is surprising though though that he is praying for a commercial "Olu ran lowo" after almost 50 years in the music industry. He ought to by now have a long list of die-hard , well to do fans on tap he can call on either for assistance or for commercial partnerships to achieve whatever goal(s) he seek to achieve.
Yusuf Olatunji, Baba L'Egba is from Gbagura in Abeokuta city and he was born in his ancestral village at GBEGBINLAWO in Egbaland, Ogun state. His oriki is in the lineage of Iseyin and every Yoruba person oriki is always aligned to a town in Yoruba nation..
Bale Agbaletu Thanks so much for bringing back all these versatile musicians of old We are learning a lot from all these interviews Please keep it up Also if it is possible try and formally document all these interviews into a book or a compendium The very relaxed manner you conducted the interview is commendable
The band members can be empowered to set up businesses that can be managed by others while they continue their profession as instrumentalists. Just my two cents
Dele, you're just too much in interviewing.. A lot had come in this business but your coming is a blessing because your interview is so clear and unique.. thanks Dele omo Adeyanju.
👍. We're full of talking spiritual things but devoid of high moral and ethical standards which makes us to be religious hypocrites. "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" Proverbs 14 : 34.
At that time Sunny Ade was living at 13 Olorunnimbe Street Idi Oro, very close to Boundary Hotel. He left Baba Sala to start his band. Before moving to Bariga,
Yes..... there's ogun abenu gongo in juju. Why do u think they called it juju music ???? I've played with a few juju musicians in my day before moving abroad. I don't tell you their names but one of them used to put tortoise at his back stage. He didn't hide it. Another one will put a nylon bag behind any instrumentalist he chooses. There's ado inside the nylon bag. I have a lot of stories of these juju musicians. Any one that sings and begs for money definitely uses juju. Alagbe is not oju lasan.
