[Quiteness]

wow, back in the early days of african independence....so much promise! But the African leaders went to bed with the white man again, and now we see even the african women with perms and bleached skin. African men chasing the white woman's coat tails. Oh woe is me, set my people free!

[jack00008]

The Very Best sampled this? SWEET. now more people can groove to Highlife and shit. for this guy i guess it's Joromi.

[goodgrief78]

Hey folks, if you're here because you like The Very Best or Radioclit or whatever, that's great - and you should check out more Victor Uwaifo while you're at it. Guitar Boy is just the tip of a pretty incredible iceberg.

[litos1251]

[timbearcub]

As sampled by The Very Best on 'Warm Heart of Africa' :-D

[the215renaissanceman]

An icon in the truest sense.

[MilkyWindow]

[batikartiso]

Ever loving Sir Victor Uwaifo, i remain your fan for ever.CHOCLATHONEY OR WHOEVER IN POSITION/OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT.Can you just fish out some of our past Bini popular musicians on the you tube,just music alone is ok without bvideo,because then, there was no video clips promoting music as today. Some of those musicians are PATRICK IDAHOSA,CLEMICO UWAIFO,OSAGIE BROTHERS,MONCHICO BEY,ADAMOSA,AMUNATABA,PRECIOUS ALAKE,OKE ELAIHO,SOME UGHO TRADITIONAL MUSICS,REAL EDO CULTURAL GROUP(LED BY OGBODU)

[choclatthoney]

[WestPhillyCat]

what a costume!

[Jackmosh]

Reminds me of kermit the frog.

[Aiyopat]

I love Sir Victor Uwaifo, his voice seams not to be change for one beat. It still remains the same since I used to hear his songs from child hood till now (a woman os 37 years old)

[0nthinice]

Can anybody tell me what he's saying between 1:29 - 1:34 and between 3:45 - 3:50 please? It sounds something like "Sing your song of love sweet memory" or something like that.

His Wiki page is very funny it says "Uwaifo's hobbies include swimming, bodybuilding, gaming, reading, writing, and bringing up other people's children"

I never would have considered fostering kids to be a hobby!

[Outreachat]

"Sing a song of love, sweet melody." That's what he is saying.

[0nthinice]

Cool thanks.

[imazirin]

AFROBRAZILERO !!

[funkymamadee11]

[psandra7777777]

mammi water simply means mermaid...from the river..little mermaid..that kind of thing..

[stingabe]

Anyone, Please, who or what is MAmmi Water?

[atosino]

A mammi water is a mermaid. It was (is) rumored that they turn into humans during the day and live amongst us.

[DaJon3z]

Mammi Water is a Mermaid, WHICH! people should be scared of if they saw one cuz I know i'd run like I was in the 2012 olympics!

[derifo1]

Bahia? Those guys there are actually Africans.

[hyper10shun]

[viceroy46]

[sweavo]

thanks! My taste is a bit more afro-latin but I am getting into afrobeat and might end up getting into highlife next :)
