Tiamiyu is the best talking drummer that ever worked with KSA

King Sunday Ade! King Sunny Ade Baba Rere, The Good Father. It is just Occurring to me that You are one of the BELOVED Children of The Principality,,High Ranking spirit Called SONG in The Spiritual Realm, World. More Grace Sir Kabiesi Oba Dr Babatope James Adeyemi, Afopegbade of Ilu-Ope

My brother, you have said it all. Let me add, he is undervalued and underrated also. This man single handedly put Yoruba music on the world map. Getting a Grammy nod in 1983, when it was uncommon and unheard of despite the array of music stars and hostile peers. but for racism and not knowing how to shelf his music, he probably would have won the Grammy in 1983. He was the reason they created the world music category in 1992. Despite the fact that Island record made no music video and little radio promotion, King Sunny Ade tore up concert halls all over Europe and America with his yet to be rivalled Live stagecraft. KSA, sold records and generally thrived on the strength of his live performances. The world music was later hijacked by big Franco phone labels and they started handing out Grammy for best world music album to undeserving and mediocre artist who fine tuned their sound to European and American sound. Angelique Kidjo and Yousouph Ndour benefited immensely from this marketing hijackers. No disrespect to the two giants though. The question is how can a country like Nigeria not produce a Grammy win for best world music despite KSA, Femi and Seun grabbing nods not until Burma boy won. Burma's case is another story for another day. Is Burma's sound world music or urban music. Burma Boys again benefitted from that marketing labels who pushed his music and forced it through everyone's throat. His promoters even recruited Puff daddy to executive produce his album. However, Grammy or no Grammy, no one can take any shine away from the prodigiousness of KSA. KSA represents hard work, tenacity and even at his age going 75 years, he still pushing the limit of Live performances. And as for copyright, LET KSA and his peers who have laid the foundation for African music to reap from their sweat.

thanks for comment but King Sunny Ade is a JUJU MUSICIAN not FUJI so there is not basis of comparison with Saidi Osupa

@@WALETHOMPSONTV Respectfully sir. Natha Olu wasn't comparing, but only suggested or rather opined that you could equate KSA'S PRODIGIOUSNESS AND DEXTERITY LYRICS WISE WITH PERHAPS Osupa's style. Osupa seem like another artist in the Fuji rem who is acclaimed for his composition and arrangement.

Yep. Saidi Osupa is deep and also takes time to compose. I am not a fan of new fuji but I respect the sound ones.

Exactly! Both KSA & KSO are my favorite artistes. They both have all that it takes to give the best music - musical composition and arrangement alike.

Konko jabele is from Ekilo fun omo ode.

This was actually done at the Olubadan Stadium in 1977, he was crowned the king of juju by the entertainer newspaper. That is the origin of the acronym "KSA" King Sunny Ade

it was actually at the Ibadan Tennis Club, ***correction ***

Sir, this album was released in 1977, that was the year I graduated from high school. Gen. Gowon was removed from office in 1975 while attending OAU Summit of African Heads of State in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, by Gen Murtala Mohammed. Between the intervening period and 1977 when the album was released, Nigeria had had two heads of state: Gen Murtala who was assassinated on Feb 13, 1976, and OBJ, who was appointed to replace him. But you are correct about the statement credited to Gen Gowon that Nigeria of the time when he held sway as Nigerian HOS that the country had spending problems; money was the least of its problem, but how to spend it, was.

@@rasheedahmed5507 Impressive. You have a phenomenal memory.
