2. Sikiru Adepoju – 1991 (Planet Drum) and 2009 (Global Drum Project):
Sikiru Adepoju (pronounced Seek-ee-roo Ah-deh-po-joo) is a master of the talking drum and many other Yoruba percussion instruments. Born in Eruwa, Nigeria, Sikiru hails from the traditional lineage of Yoruba talking drummers culturally referred to as Ayan which means “one who has
descended from drummers lineage,” and began playing under the tutelage of his father Chief Ayanleke Adepoju at the age of six. Along with his brothers Saminu and Lasisi, Sikiru accompanied the family’s talking drum ensemble for several years.

After moving to the San Fransico Bay Area in 1985, Sikiru joined the influential and pioneering Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olantunji and his Drums of Passion. This marked a lengthy period of high productivity from Sikiru which saw
him recording and performing throughout the world until a year before Olantunji’s death in 2003. During this period he was introduced to Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart, who has called Sikiru “The Mozart of the talking drum,” and employed him on many of his personal projects including the Grammy award winning albumsPlanet Drum (1991) and Global Drum Project (2008). He is currently performing with the Mickey Hart Band in support of their album "Mysterium Tremendum" which features Sikiru’s vocals on the track “Who Stole The Show.”

3. Sade Adu:
Musician, singer. Born Helen Folasade Adu on January 16, 1959 in Ibadan, Nigeria. Raised in London by her English mother, Sade developed several interests as a teen, including singing, fashion design and modeling. She sang with a few local bands before signing with Epic Records and
recording her first album, Diamond Life, in 1984. A huge hit in her native England, the album also had mass appeal across the pond thanks to such singles as “Smooth Operator.” In 1986, she won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Sade’s subsequent multi-platinum albums, Promise, Stronger Than Pride andLove Deluxe, established her as a top-selling soul and pop artist. She took
a new route with her 2000 album, Lovers Rock, which was released eight years after Love Deluxe and incorporated a more mainstream sound. The record, and particularly the chart-topping single, “By Your Side,” helped her win over new audiences. Two years later, the album and ensuing tour inspired her first live recording, Lovers Live. Sade returned to the studio and released her sixth album In February 2010, Soldier of Love.

If I must tell you the truth,the civil war had given the Ibos the chance to go into trading which had paid off with each person going back to the east to bring his kith and kin(you would not believe that I have seen,a couple of times,blind Ibos holding themselves in fours or fives,begging at Orile in Lagos)until they saw that there are yummies in buying and selling.Let me tell you that they have a formidable middle class and still growing especially in Lagos.Because they have seen the joy of making it in Lagos(they have made it in Lagos than anywhere in the world.

honestly,even they can't do without listening to our musicians,the likes of Fela,Wizkid,Olamide etc. Their own musicians are trying to Act like yorubas and speak yoruba in their songs for their music to be sell,the likes of Rugged man,P square,Tubaba,Don Jazzy etc ,they've all turned themselves to yorubas,and yet some fools are shouting biafra when their own are disowning their tribe and trying to be yorubas

iamrealdeji:
D'banj just sang that for Igbos cos he feels he's been singing too much in Yoruba and I can bet it with you that he can't speak Igbo,every musician does that,even Barrister also sang in Hausa.
But all these Don Jazzys,P square,Ruggedman etc can speak yoruba even better than some yorubas.
I don't know any yoruba that can speak Igbo,but almost all Igbos I know can speak yoruba. Its because Igbos see yorubas as very important people,but yorubas just see them as one of those tribes in Nigeria. Yorubas are like America,Igbos are like Ghana,every Ghanian wants to go to America and want to be Americans but Americans don't even care about Ghana and don't even want to know anything about Ghana

Go to the movies too,Igbos that understand yoruba can't do without watching yoruba movies. Yoruba movie actors are the most talented in Nigeria they don't act movies by speaking like they already crammed what they want to say like Igbo actors,yoruba actors are very realistic,their movies is just like it's happening in real life,that you would forget it's movie

someone is bearing Idibia and you said he's not Igbo,you think we don't see Dibia in films that do juju for people? Also,if he's not Igbo,then what is he? Even if he's middle belt or whatever,people from there are classified as Igbos

The TRIBAL rants are quite unneccessary ....... just my opinion

Omo Odua, let's show some maturity, be credited for glueing Nigeria together not tearing it apart ........

Leave the past to history, & face the future with vigour

There is still a Nigerian acapella singer not mentioned anyway ......

Naija for life ......
