I posted a link to that song on another thread, but I can't remember the title of the song now. The guy was somewhere in northern Europe. His name had something to do with the elements. I'm sure I'll remember it soon.

I believe highlife singer Bobby Benson should be on this list

Bobby Benson - "Taxi Driver" is at number 14.

One of my all time favourites.

The guitar playing is out of this world, the melody is superb, the rhythm is great and just listen to the lyrics.


Oliver de Coque - Identity.

I hope someone will answer me finally this question... there are two songs that am fond of for years but I don't know the singers : 1. "aye o africa hi, aye o africa.... How are you doing africa, aye o africa" The music goes with alot of sax and was used by AIT as their background music for the morning ICT program "CYBER AFRICA". 2. The second is a pure highlife song more like dancehall jam, it goes with a female chorus "Ooooh mama eh ! lai lai .titi lai lai"it also goes with lots of trumpet "parararam paaram" ......Hope someone would help my soul, Thanks

Your first song


Eddie Grant - Hello Africa.

I know the first song you listed, but I need a moment to remember the name. The second song is


Jambos Express - Mother Africa

Some people have recommended Alex O - Banana. I love that song, but I would prefer

Alex O - Do It In The Name Of Love.

By the way, I would be very grateful if somebody can post a link to Ina Gizo Yake by Funmi Adams.

donmalcolm21:
Please remove yahooze and put* If you marry taxi driver I don't care if you marry ............*

It's already there. Number 14.

A pretty good list. Individual tastes differ, so you can't please everyone.

For example, I won't replace "Nigeria My Beloved Country" with "Ahaye Yaro". It's either "Nigeria My Beloved Country" or "Ina Gizon Yake" for me (I think that "Ina Gizon Yake" was Funmi Adams best song).


There are a couple of other good songs that could make the list.
