Throwback Thursday :ebenezer Obey - Aiye Wa Atooro by Suks: 7:11pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
Born in 1942, named Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi He began his professional career in the 50's after tutelage under "Fatai Rolling Dollar" another popular lagos musician. He formed the band "International Brothers" in 1964 which later evolved into "Inter-reformers" in the 70s Obey began experimenting with Yoruba percussion style and expanding on the band by adding more drum kits and talking drums. Obey's musical strengths lie in weaving intricate Yoruba axioms into dance floor compositions. As is characteristic of Nigerian Yoruba social circle music, the Inter-Reformers band excel in praise singing for rich Nigerian socialites and business tycoons. Obey, however, is also renowned for christian spiritual themes in his music and has since the early 1990s retired into Nigerian gospel music ministry. On this track he says " Aiye wa atooro" meaning "our lives shall experience progressive success; as confession after offering prayers to the God of heaven. One thing you would enjoy from such music asides the lyrics (if you understand them) is the harmonization of the strings and the drums. Some of his titles are even popular sang in churches today Chief commander Ebenezer Obey......we celebrate you!!!! Obey is currently planning a short tour in America starting with a performance at The Atrium in Atlanta, Georgia on the 16th of this month and also the 18th of Newark in New Jersey Listen and Enjoy.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4rTDpDvHgE#at=768 http://www.infonubia.com/2013/08/throwback-thursday-ebenezer-obey-aiye.html |
