It's unfortunate Ralph Amarabem of the Peacock Dance Band suffered blindness before his death some seven years ago. He was the guitarist of Rex Lawson till around 1966/67 when he, like some other people, relocated to their regions of origin due to the pogrom and Civil War. He relocated to Owerri, East Central State. Rex Lawson replaced him with David Bull (from Bunny, Rivers State), who relocated from Gboko, Benue-Plateau State to Port-Harcourt. |

Okeycima: Abeg Parkwell joor! Naptu did not say he has exhausted on Remixes in the musical space of Nigeria, ...did he? Even in LA, they do remix over and over again....... the only thing is you take permission from the copyright owner before you do it. but after many years and some songs have become "public songs", you can even do the remix without permission (I think there is a certain number of years when copyright/ becomes obsolete. A song has to be "Up there" ... before anyone can even think of doing a remix of it because its the old version that sells the remix, at first release. @Naptu: Respects! Keep it coming Pls. What we did with that "Raise-da-Ruff by Jazzman Olofin" ehn? only God can forgive Boys in those days At the University. The base guitar and tune was from the "party Anthem" of the late 70s' early 80's - "Set it off". Even if you dont like to dance, one the Record hits the turntable and the Big Kenwood Speaker, backed by a Binatone Amplifier and Reverbrator churns out that tune, Abeg, you will just find your self floating, so to speak. Many a Boys got banned from school because something went wrong at the "Lit Party"! There is these guys from St Gregory's college back then (77 - 81), not sure but l think their name is Ofege? Any clues on them? |

OrlandoOwoh: Have you watched the play called Kakadu - The Musical? I was invited to watch it in 2014, but I couldn't go. I had thought of creating this thread sometime in the middle of last year, but I kept putting it off because I couldn't find all the videos I was looking for. Then I finally went to watch Kakadu during the christmas holiday and it was unbelievable. They played almost every single song that I wanted to post on this song. It felt like they were picking the songs from my brain. That's when I decided that I must create this thread, even though I don't have all the videos that I want to post. There was a funny part in the play, when Ben Ogbeiwi (MTN Project Fame) was singing Baby Jowo. He got to the part where he was supposed to sing - Ko wa fun mi loyan tutu mu o And he sang: - Ko wa fun mi something tutu mu o. |

naptu2: There was this Night Club in the mid/late 70's called Kakadu Night Club along Olonode/Borno Way junction. Its just around where Lagos State Governor then, Mobolaji Johnson had his house My house was next to the Kakadu Club and all this stars, especially Olaiya, played "LIVE" there every night. It was very handy for me! |

Excuzeme:Most bands in the past were hired in contracts by managers of hotels and night clubs to perform. Boundary Hotel, Mayflower Hotel and Stadium Hotel in Lagos as well as Maryland Hotel in Port Harcourt, were some of the hotels. Stadium Hotel, owned by Victor Olaiya, appears to be the only still functioning. Beginning from around the 1980's, Nightshift Coliseum became popular. Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Dele Abiodun, Onyeka Onwenu, Christy Essien, etc played there. It's under Guv'nor Caleb Olumese. Parts of it got burnt some years ago. Highlife enthusists like Benson Idonije and Femi Esho need to inspire writers to write on highlife and hotels used by bands in the 1950's, 60's, 70's and 80's. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Okeycima: This is not really true. There are copyright laws in Nigeria and that's also why the Nigerian Copyright Commission exists. Artists try to copy other artist's work without permmission all over the world, but they get into serious trouble when they are discovered. I'll give you two examples (one from Nigeria and one from outside Nigeria). Feladey got into trouble when he covered Rex Jim Lawson's songs without permission in the 1990s. Rex Jim Lawson's family sued him, but the case was eventually settled out of court. Robin Thicke and Pharrel Williams recently got into trouble when they sampled Marvin Gaye's song, "Got To Give It Up" (one of my favourite songs) for their song "Blurred Lines". Marvin Gaye's family sued them and they had to pay millions of dollars to Gaye's family and include Marvin Gaye's name in the album credits. Covering a song legally is not a bad thing. It brings the song to a new generation and also gives money to the writer of the song. Some retired musicians depend on this money. For example, Snoop Dogg often sampled his uncle Charlie Wilson's (of the Gap Band) song and this meant that Charlie Wilson got paid even though he had retired and was fighting alcoholism. Paul "Play" Dairo covered his father, I.K. Dairo's songs and this made the songs known to a new generation. Natalie Cole covered her father, Nat King Cole's songs and this brought it to a new generation. Song writers hold copy rights over their songs for the duration of their life and 50 years after they are dead (it's 70 years in some jurisdictions). It's basically their pension. Disney had to pay the family of the South African guy that wrote "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (Solomon Linda), despite the fact that he had been dead for many years before The Lion King was made (he wrote the song in the 1930s). 2 Likes 1 Share |

Excuzeme: I didn't see the last part of your post earlier. Dapo Olumide (keyboards) became a pilot and was the CEO of Virgin Nigeria. He later became the CEO of Ropeways Nigeria, the company that plans to build a cable car system in Lagos. Some of the other members of the band were outside the country the last time I heard from them, but I can't remember what they are doing (I'll update this post as soon as I remember). Most of their hits (Try And Love, Wizzy Ilabo, etc) are on Youtube. 1 Like |

This is one of my favourite Fela tracks. It's a short anti-war song that was recorded during his 1969 Los Angeles sessions (this was during the closing stages of the Nigerian Civil War). It was remixed by Gboyega "Afrologic" Oyedele for the 2010 Felabrations event. Fela Anikulapo-Kuti - Viva Nigeria, Viva Africa (1969). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia08eAsinCE Fela Anikulapo-Kuti - Viva Nigeria, Viva Africa (remixed by Afrologic in 2010). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLTLaQhcL9k |
