Tunde Nightingale & His Highlife Boys - Omo Lafiaji / Araba (Audio) 

Good memories of my parents. They both will dance to tunde nightingale when we had house parties. When life was sweet and peaceful.

I danced Tunde Nightingale very well in the 60s. RIPP Tunde.

Tunde Nightingale was a great entertainer in 50s and 60s who will not be easily forgotten by many Western Nigerians who are 60 year old and above.His music is simply melodious .May his soul rest in peace.

Big up for Tunde Nightingale, my late mum’s favourite being Eko socialite and also from Lagos. My memories of my dearest mother back. I can see see my mum dancing to this. Mum may your soul continue to rest in peace. RIP to Tunde Nightingale. Big up for all omo Eko. Eko oni bane o

How will our youths dance to this nowadays? Wow! Cool, calm, calculated! It it is jump, jump, jump dance these days! 😅😅😅

Tunde Nightigale will live forever in Nigerian music life. - Isaac B. Agbaje

My granny's best musician. Lafiaji/campos

This music brings back some good memories to me when tunde nigthingale and his boys used to perfom right inside our living room for my great Dad Lawywer Hakeem-Habeeb and his friends, those were good memories!!!

Timeless, Ageless music. I never get tired of listening. I entertain myself dancing to this music in my office Friday nights. I wish these so called "modern" musicians will learn from these oldies. The uniqueness is unbeatable and excellent rhythm. No copycat. To our elder Tunde Nightingale and others departed - PEACE

Fantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastic! Thank you. Brings back memories of my mom and dad enjoying life in Ibadan back in the day. To all my Naija peeps, please please never let this die.

On point of correction, Tunde is a native of Lagos Island, he only moved to Ibadan and spent the better part of his life in Ibadan and died there. Also, Ibadan is the largest city in West Africa and is second to Cairo, Egypt, being the largest in Africa.

Up till now;I still listened & danced to d ever green music's ❤😅

Evergreen music .

He was the originator of "O wa mbe" music which exploded into public arena in the 60s and that's how Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey started their musical careers playing like Tunde Nightingale after which they repackaged their music into "Juju"

Tunde Nightingale was one of my mom favorite singer she sings and dance along when his music is been played in the kitchen cooking , sitting in the living room or in her room. She passed away this year 2018 typing this shit make tears run down my face i am done. RIP FOWOTADE PLUMPTRE ONI

I love 0:58 to 1:22 so much. Especially the way he calls Adio😂😂 I just imagine how they danced to this back in the days, must have been so much fun😂😂 wicked gyration vibes.

Fond memories of my teenage years in the 80s, hanging out with friends around Moloney/Beckley Streets/Obalende in Lagos. God bless you for preserving those precious memories. Happy Valentine's day February 14, 2018. See you next year, God willing.

Is there no way people like this with such bank of talents can be immortalized?

I recalled my daddy used to tell us when we were kids that Tunde Nightingale attended Baptist Boys' High School in Abeokuta, he was born in Ago-Oko in Abeokuta, his mother was from Egbado, he probably lived in Ibadan while building his music career but he lived extensively in Lagos in late 50's and 60's where he played regularly at Bar-beech and Ikoyi Hotels, changed his last name to Nightingale bacause people said he sounded like the bird 'nightingale' that sings with a thin voice.

In addition to your correction, I think he was born in 1922 and died 59 years later in Ibadan. I love this superb music.

Almighty God please bring back this old days.

so great an inspirational juju musician ,great musicians like sunny ade and Ebenezer obey may have drawn inspirations from him.....baba ,sleep on,walk tall.

Oseun babami, Gbogbo omo Lafiaaji, omo awo re o! Laaafiaaji!!!

Could this wonderful style have any possible "boomerang" influence, from Afro-Cuban, back to West Africa ? Many of Cuba's slaves came from the area which is today's Nigeria. There are two sticks playing a pattern that sounds a lot like clave. There's a hand drum that resembles the bongò, commenting throughout. The repeating chorus that alternates with a solo singer's lines ... I know it's sort of like asking about chicken and egg, and what would Cuban music be without the African soul that dominates? Orchestra Baobab is clearly a style derived from Cuba. Some sources say JuJu predominates in Yoruba regions, and Yoruba is a strong element in Afro-Cuban music.

Truly immortal music!!!! Owambe!!!

Unique Tunde Nightingale this is Owanbe at its best....

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Raw talent

On that point of correction, my brother Adisa Olayinka, I think he was actually an Abeokuta man. Full name Ernest Olatunde Thomas of Ago-Oko very close to Shapon in Abeokuta. Truth to tell, I've had to contest the Ibadan thing with a brother who also mentioned some big Aunties to corroborate his claim. But I think I am right. But could anyone who knows the real fact of this issue please chip in here. Tunde 'The Western' Nightingale had his roots in Egbaland. What say you?

oldies best possible juju music

Great man, rest in peace
