One of the early
pioneers of African
popular highlife music,
Osayomore Joseph, has
passed away.
Osayomore, who was
born in Ugha village
near Benin City, Edo
State, passed on this
morning, Saturday June
11.
He was one of the early
pioneers of African
popular highlife music.
He was sometimes
referred to as the “Fela
Kuti of Benin”, as like
Fela, he too was
imprisoned for
speaking out against
the government in his
music.
His educational, anti-
corruption, and
government critical
lyrics sung in Edo but
also in pidgin English
reached a wide
audience worldwide.
