Ksa alone achieved a feat all your musicians can and will never achieved till they RIP. KING SUNNY ADE "King" Sunny Adé (born Sunday Adeniyi, 22 September 1946) is a Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world music. He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time. Adé was born to a Nigerian royal family in Ondo, thus making him an Omoba of the Yoruba people.[2][3] His father was a church organist, while his mother was a trader. Adé left grammar school in Ondo under the pretense of going to the University of Lagos. There, in Lagos, his mercurial musical career started. Sunny Adé's musical sound has evolved from the early days. His career began with Moses Olaiya's Federal Rhythm Dandies, a highlife band. He left to form a new band, The Green Spots, in 1967. Over the years, for various reasons ranging from changes in his music to business concerns, Sunny Adé's band changed its name several times, first to African Beats and then to Golden Mercury. In the 1970s and 1980s Adé embarked on a tour of America and Europe where he played to mixed (both black and white) audiences. His stage act was characterised by dexterous dancing steps and mastery of the guitar. Trey Anastasio, American guitarist, composer and one of his devout followers, once said, "If you come to see Sunny Adé live, you must be prepared to groove all night."[citation needed] After more than a decade of resounding success in Africa, Adé was received to great acclaim in Europe and North America in 1982.[4][5] The global release of Juju Music and its accompanying tour was "almost unanimously embraced by critics (if not consumers) everywhere".[4] Adé was described by The New York Times' as "one of the world's great band leaders",[6] and in Trouser Press as "one of the most captivating and important musical artists anywhere in the world".[4] His next album, Syncro System (1983), was equally successful[7] and earned him his first Grammy Award nomination in the folk/ethnic music category. |
INVESTORBNAIRA:Odey. Tell Us your tribe and the no. of music genre u guys got. Mstw.. Flthd Yoruba music is not all about wearing red cap and one yeye regalia with elephant stamp, jumping like a monkey from one plc to another claiming to be singing ![]() |
Yoruba language is very rich in songs and music, every Yoruba situation has a corresponding song , which is inspirational & educational . There are three catogories of Yoruba song , these are : i) Traditional song; ii ) Christian song ; and iii) Islamic song . Each of these songs is subdivided . For instance , the traditional song has : Ceremonial song - sung at marriage , house warming , naming, anniversaries , chieftaincy INSTALLATION , etc Praise song - sung when a task is accomplished , or after victory in a war. Burial / mourning song - when evil befalls , a catastrophe happen , death of a promising child , financial loss, disaster , epidemics, etc . Traditional religious song - for festivals , masquerade , planting, harvest. Christianity also has varieties of songs like hymns (sung at regular church service), devotional song (sung for a particular service -other than regular/ congregational worship ), burial sung (sung when burial service is held ), and Christmas carol (sung during yuletide). Islam also has several songs , there are regular, devotional , burial and ceremonial / festive songs . Interestingly, Yoruba music of today is more of hybrid of the three categorized songs in terms of lyrics , styles and instruments . Through adaptation , certain Islamic and Christian songs are similar to the traditional song , a feature that is shaping and re - creating Yoruba music . The Yoruba Music Genre Sakara – a mention of this genre of music , mind goes to late Yussuf Ọlatunji, Ẹgba indigene , Yoruba music with Islamic tonation . Although , Sakara has undergone changes by present day singers , yet its focus as praise and adulation song still remains . Instruments include Goje , (Yoruba violin) and Sakara drum. Yoruba music influenced by Islam in style, tone, message, its purpose is to praise , and to eulogize . Goje , a two string fiddle is a major instrument for this music , and Sakara drum , one of the four major family drums in Yoruba land . It is popular among Ibadan , Ẹgba, and Ijẹbu . Wéré music - is another version or a brand of Islamic styled Yoruba music. Originally , Wéré is used to call muslim faithfuls to early morning prayer and to get ready for fasting during Ramadan .The Ajiwere or Oniwere always took the lead among the group to perform the wake- up call . Ajisari – as the name suggests, is another Islamic song similar to Wéré, use during the Ramadan . The difference between the (two look- alike) Islamic Yoruba songs are : Wéré is performed by a group with a leader , but Ajisari is performed solo. Two , Wéré is an all -night -wake-up song , on the other hand , Ajisari is an early morning song, prior to Sari (the meal before the fast commences ). Apala – is another Yoruba song with Islamic tone, it is used during Ramadan , but it has more musical instruments more than Wéré and Ajisari , prominent among its instruments is Ṣẹkẹrẹ (Shaker ). Terry Apala a Nigerian musician who started gaining attention in 2016,took apala to another level,he is loved and appreciated by his fans for modernizing the almost extinct Yoruba genre; "Apala Music". Terry calls his own genre Apala HipHop. He describes his genre of music as “Apala Hip Hop”, having gotten inspiration from the late Haruna Ishola and backed up by his Yoruba influenced upbringing even though he hails for Isoko in Delta State. Agidigbo – it is another Yoruba genre , a piano based Yoruba music. Agidigbo is tied around the player ’s neck by a loose rope . Agidigbo’s instruments are Bell (Agogo , a cylindrical metal shaped object which comes in a single, double or multiple with percussion stick ), Talking Drum (Gangan ), a popular Yoruba drum made from wood , cone shaped with a leather cover on both ends, the drum has adjustable leather stripes on the outside for tweaking when talking drum is played . Talking drum has a percussion stick (a 1- 1 / 4 foot long beating stick with a curve end knob ) to code message by the drummer . Waka Music – is another form of Islamic music , common among the Ijẹbu , popularized by Batilẹ Alakẹ and Salawatu Abẹni the [ Waka Queen ] . Ṣ ẹkẹrẹ – it is a Yoruba music named after Ṣẹkẹrẹ (Shaker), a large gourd with threaded beads woven around gourd, which is tied on both ends. The back and forth movements of Ṣẹkẹrẹ creates rhythmical sound as directed by the lead singer or any Ṣẹkẹrẹ holder. It is a solo music, but with a band of chorister. Ṣẹkẹrẹ musical instruments are : Aro , Dundun , Omele , Agogo . A popular Ṣẹkẹrẹ king was late Alhaji Alamu Atatalo , this genre is popular among Ibadan - Oluyole people. Fuji Music – it is another type of Islamic music, a by -product of Wéré and Ajisari , although, Fuji music comes second after Juju in Yoruba land , Fuji genre has transcended Islamic rhythm- it has become a household music for Christians , Muslims , young , old, men , women , even non- Yoruba , who live within and outside the geo-political confine . Also , the genre ’ s message has gone beyond religious confine , rather , its socially embracing messages find audience in religiously tolerant and moderate people of Southern Nigeria. Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister is the creator of Fuji music, one of the variations of the were / Ajisari musical genre. The name, "Fuji," chosen for the new musical genre was conceived in a rather funny and unusual way. According to Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister: "I came up with it when I saw a poster at an airport, advertising the Mount Fuji, which is the highest peak in Japan." Fuji, in this context, should not be mistaken for the Yoruba word "fuja," or "faaji," which means leisure or enjoyment. "Onifuja" or "Onifaaji" is Yoruba for a socialite, or one who relishes leisure or enjoyment. Highlife: a genre that originated from Ghana . Because of the easy movement among the four former British colonies of West Africa back then, cultural assimilation soon became a way of life . Specifically, the introduction of highlife music into Yoruba way of life by Ghanaians in early days of colonialism was example of cultural assimilation. Highlife combines certain African elements with western styled music, instruments include jazz horns (tenor horn , British; Alto Horn , U. S . A ; Althorn , Germany), a brass -made equipment known for its high pitch sound . Another variety is the cornet . Highlife uses guitar , early Yoruba highlife musicians were : Bobby Benson Rex Lawson Victor Olaiya Fela Anikulapo -Kuti Afro beat genre is a variety of Highlife music, it combines funk , jazz , and highlife with a chanted vocal . Prominent Afro - beat singer was late Fẹla Anikulapo - Kuti. Juju Genre – is the most popular and widely- known music genre in Yoruba land , prominent juju maestros are : Sunday Ishọla Adegẹye Adeniyi (popularly known as King Sunny Ade) Ebenezer Fabiyi (known as Chief Commander Ebenezer Fabiyi Obey ) Dele Abiodun (Adawa Super King ) Prince Adekunle (known as General Adekunle ) Juju music can be traced to Abdul Rafiu Babatunde otherwise known as (Tunde king ) and Ojogẹ Daniel in the second decade of 20 th century. Older generation of Juju musicians were : Adeolu Akinsanya (Baba Eto of Lagos ), Isaiah Kehinde Dairo (popularly known as I . K . Dairo), Dele Ojo (from Ilara - Mokin , Ondo State). Another popular juju musician is Idowu Animashaun (the Apola King ). Juju music according to history , “ evolved from clubs around the country” especially those from Lagos , and also immigrants from Freetown, Sierra -Leone, and people from the new -world , including , but not limited to : Brazil , West -Indies , who became its major fans . Interestingly, the genre derived its lyrics from Yoruba and idioms of the new settlers. There are some other types of Juju genre , such as Afro - Juju , which combines juju features with Afro - beat and highlife in the background. Also , there is Kenneries- popularized by late Ọladipupọ Owomọyẹla (a . k. a Dr . ORLANDO Owoh ). This brand of juju looks so much like highlife , because of the musical instruments use , but the message, format and lyrics are purely juju . When it comes to Music,leave it for the yorubas.. http://yorupedia.com/subjects/education/yoruba-music/ lalasticlala

Akure—THE crisis over the Eze Ndigbo leadership in Ondo State deepened weekend as the Deji of Akureland, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi issued a month notice to the erstwhile bearer of the title, Gregory Ilohehika to consider accepting the title of “Igbo Leader” (Onyendu Ndigbo) in place of the proscribed Eze Ndigbo title. A letter to the effect has been forwarded to Ilohehika from the monarch. Onyendu Ndigbo is the new approved traditional title for any Igbo leader in Akure and its environ. The Chief Press Secretary to the traditional ruler, Micheal Adeyeye, said yesterday that; “A month notice has been communicated to Mr. Gregory Ilohehika to accept this in good fate taking effect from February 1, 2016. “Based on the amendment, Mr. Gregory has been advised to apply in writing for this new title if he is still interested. ‘’Failure to comply with this directive shall amount to rejection of the new title. “In view of the possible rejection of the new title, the Igbo community shall produce another leader at the expiration of the ultimatum. “His Majesty remains committed to ensuring peaceful and harmonious relationship with the Igbo community and all other non-indigenes in Akure Kingdom.’’ But, the Igbos in their reaction said; “We have considered the title of Eze Ndigbo as adopted by the Igbos outside Igbo land as sacrosanct and non-negotiable and that the title is widely recognized and used both within and outside Nigeria as approved by the association of Ndieze Ndigbo N’uzo Ije and Onaneze Ndigbo worldwide which are the parent bodies.” The Igbo Community spoke through the President and the state Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chiefs Okechukwu Okorie and Alloy I.K Anoliefo in Akure. “It was unanimously agreed that the Igbos in Ondo State as a body is standing by the position of the parent bodies on the use of the title as adopted by the Igbos in diasporas, and that Sir Gregory Iloehika having been installed remain the only recognized Eze Ndigbo,” the statement said. They said the leadership of Iloehika as the Eze is not limited to Akure, the state capital but to all the 18 Local Government areas of the state as he was duly elected in keenly contested election by the entire Igbo in the state. They warned the Igbos wherever they may be living to respect their host communities and not engage in any act that can bring the Ohaneze Ndigbos name into disrepute. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/02/deji-akure-vs-eze-ndigbo-crisis-deepens/ |
The Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on Thursday sentenced one Ufoka Ikechukwu-Francis to three -year imprisonment for trafficking 1.183 kg of cocaine. Ikechuckwu-Francis was arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The convict, who was arrested while returning from São Paulo, Brazil, on May 25, 2015, clocked 33 years on February 2, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. He was arraigned before Justice Adeniyi Ademola in 2015 and pleaded guilty to the offence. Following Ademola’s arrest by the Department of State Security (DSS), the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, transferred the case to Justice Binta Nyako. When re-arraigned before Justice Nyako on Thursday, he maintained his guilty plea. His counsel, Mr. Obiora Ilo pleaded with the court to show leniency and mercy to the accused person. Ilo said the defendant had shown remorse by pleading guilty to the offence in order not to stress the court by wasting time on investigation. “The heart of my lord is the fountain of mercy. As my lord can see, it is his remorse that is making him cry in the dock. “He never intended to tarnish the image of the country, it is just unfortunate that some unscrupulous elements took advantage of his naivety. “All we ask is that the court should tamper justice with mercy as the defendant is a first time offender,” Ilo said. The prosecuting counsel, Mrs. S.I. Mark, had asked the court to convict the defendant following his guilty plea. She tendered exhibits, including the cocaine, Brazilian currency, flight ticket and the defendant’s international passport. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/man-jailed-three-years-drug-trafficking/ |
