Hey guys, so this morning, I woke up with a song on my mind... Ras Kimono's Rhumba style, and I have since been watching old school naija music with the likes of Onyeka Onwenu, Mike Okri, Sunny Okosun, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek, Daniel Wilson, Orits Wiliki and many more (Thank God for youtube). Whew...so many nostalgic feelings (I'm sorry if a topic like this has been posted in the past... just wanted to share)

Enjoy with me:

"Egwu,egwu Igbo amaka,
Omalicha nwata bia tewere m egwu.
Isi gi peru mpe,Omalicha nwata bia tewere m egwu . . "

There r many ever green ranging from highlife, juju, afrobeat, blues. Its jst pitiable dat majority of d songs we hear nw r craps.
My album is filled wit 70percent 'pre-1990' music (call me archaic, I really dnt care).

They are rich in words..

You mean Daddy Showkey's "Dyna" song?

Good music,decent dressing,beautiful faces.No fvck fvck,baby baby,love love and nudity. It's such a pity that music was not that profitable those days.Those legends deserve to be finanacially OK.

Who remembers Ras Kimono's "Natty goes to Jail" ?

A natty goes to jail. . .para ra ram pam
A natty goes to jail . . .para ra ram pam
We've got to give him a little litttle
We've got to let him let him get away . . . .

The dwarf and the huge lady's dance too. lol

Aruna Ishola, yusuf olatunji, Ayinla omo wura, Batila alake, Adegeto, Epo akara....

"bobirin ba dara ti o niwa, bo ba gba kobo kan abo mi o le fe"

Eni woo tan

This songs brings tears to my eyes..
