esere826: @naptu2 My pleasure. I'll try and get updates for you. I have a memory of sitting in the Greg's dinning hall while a music group rehearsed (I was a tiny tot then). I've asked my elders about that memory. Some say it was Ofege, while others say that it could not have been Ofege because they were way before my time. |

Ishilove: There were the Lijadu Sisters, then we had the Sunshine Sisters. From Wikipedia Taiwo and Kehinde Lijadu, are identical twin sisters from Nigeria[4] who were an important music duet from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. They achieved success in Nigeria[5] and had modest influence in the United States and Europe. They were notable for being a West African version of the Pointer Sisters who mixed Afrobeat sounds with jazz and disco, according to one source.[1] Since the late 1980s, they retired from the music scene. The twins grew up in the Nigerian town of Ibadan, and were inspired musically by various artists including Aretha Franklin, Victor Olaiya and Miriam Makeba. They had guidance from music producer Lemmy Jackson who is credited with helping them with their early successes.[5] Their music was a mix of Jazz, Afrobeat, Reggae and Waka. Sometimes they sung in English and other times in African languages.[1] One of their first songs was arranged with assistance from jazz saxophone player Orlando Julius.[6] They released their first album Iya Mi Jowo in 1969 after winning a record contract with Decca Records. They worked with the late Biddy Wright on their third album Danger (1976). They recorded Sunshine in 1978 and Horizon Unlimited in 1979. The sisters were top stars in Nigeria during the 1970s and 1980s.[5] During these years, they branched out to America and Europe and found modest success. They performed with drummer Ginger Baker's band Salt at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games in Munich at the World Music Festival. The New York Times reported that the sisters were "smiling free spirits" who mixed "sisterly banter and flirtatiousness" in their performances which featured positive messages such as the benefit of returning home.[1] Their reggae number Reincarnation insisted that if reincarnation was a reality, then they would like to be reincarnated again into the home where they grew up.[1] Some of their song lyrics were politically-themed.[7] Their harmonies were described as "ethereal".[7] In 1984 Shanachie Records released Double Trouble in the U.S. which was a compilation of their previously recorded material from their albums Horizon Unlimited and Danger. Their song Orere Eljigbo was included on a double CD entitled Nigeria 70, Africa 100, and was added to the Roots & Wings playlist in 1997.[3] The sisters moved to Brooklyn. They performed in various venues including the lower Manhattan club Wetlands and in Harlem with King Sunny Adé's African Beats as their backing band. They performed with the Philadelphia-based band Philly Gumbo.[1] They were featured in the music documentary Konkombé by English director Jeremy Marre, and their music was featured in the Nigerian installment of the 14-episode world music series entitled Beats of the Heart which aired on PBS during the late 1980s. Soon after settling in America they retired from the public eye, making details of their career in entertainment difficult to confirm, since the twins no longer gave interviews. |
