First time I saw this woman's music video was sometime in the very early 1990's. Impression i had was of one wild looking woman...who probably smoked heavily, and drank and was very weird. (Funny thoughts of an 11 year old).

I remember when several years later it was announced she had lung cancer...and then she passed on in South Africa. It was mentioned in the obits that she was a non-smoker...

Never judge a book by its cover.

Good to see some of our old stars back in the limelight. I doubt anyone below the age of 35 remembers her now.....

Well I'm below 30 in fact, but I still remember her. But it's strange I didn't know who she was until I saw the bald headed photo. I very much remember when she died.

ghettochild:
I think charlie should gather the likes of simi,tiwa, and maybe m.I and do remix of her song... Esp the one she that's goes like this... I don't know I don't why... Asiko lo laye.. Ara mi e ma she whole...asiko and the dancing in the sun track...
Its the only way he can really give her a befitting memory

gbam!

'asiko to la yé, orèmi e má ṣiṣẹ ọlẹ...asikooo'...she was a beautiful woman.breast cancer took her a way.

Tats:
Some of her "Black on Black" lyrics sang in 1991 are still very true today. How sad.

"How many years that Africa has been free,
take a look around you and see,
Brothers killing brothers,
Children fighting wars,
starvation and poverty are still knocking at our doors,........"

Ash! I remember the video of this watching as a kid then...think the late JT Tom West was on it

Chimilito:
I remember her role as an iron lady in that Ijekpoms movie. I've forgotten the title

That was 'Evil Passion'.



She was a great actress too!



She was believed in those days to be the biological mother of that girl who played the role of Mimi in 'Fatal Desire'.

I know her and I am below 35 years of age. She died in 1997 or 1998. I could remember how her friends in the industry were calling for people to support when she had cancer.

"Asiko lo laye"

Asiko lo laye

Thread for elders.

I heard the name Tyna owundiwe from a track by mode 9 cry, dedicated to true legends...Fela Art Alade, je solo, etc However, Tyna Owudiwe strike like a bell with the Africa oyibo nickname.
I did lots of research using YouTube and Google.
Guess what...
It was love at every single note and words when listening to her songs.
Didn't know she had a big impact on area father.
Someone on this thread, gave a word on mable about sowing good seed and karma.
I think mode mesan ( come nine times) have been good with it.

I got to know about junior and pretty, am Scott Tina Owudiwe Africa oyibo through that song cry...
Here's the truth.

Immortality is within everyone of us...my question to you today is...will you reach for it.

Search for YouTube Downloader and then download the video on the 3rd post of this thread

(The actual name of the song is Black On Black).

I wish I had the actual videos of these songs. I want the videos because I want people to see the clothes that they wore.

Tyna was also a fashion designer and she made all the clothes that were worn in her videos and she also made a lot of the clothes that were worn in Charly Boy's early videos.

Wow Tyna Onwudiwe AKA Africa Oyibo. Men this world was something else.
