Sunny Ade ~ Late General Murtala Mohammed (part a)

[keithiseat]

Can anybody that speaks Yoruba translate this into english? I'm doing a project for school on the Nigerian-Biafran Conflict and how it was conceptualized in Nigerian Afro-Beat/Highlfe/Juju. I feel like this would be a very helpful source. Thanks!

I like General Murtala Muhammad so much cause I was born when his management, and he was the best leader in my life for Nigerians, furthermore was assasineted because of Nigeria.

[JediJide2]

Oh my! Thanks for posting, I remember this like it was yesterday, pandemonium all over Lagos, remembered as a kid sitting next to my dad's Grundig's gramophone listening to this...remember the lyrics word for word.

[leketoob]

i remember the day muriatala was assasinated and for a 6 year old it was quite surreal. it was the first time i'd experienced a sombre mood which affected the whole of the country. sunny ade captures the mood in this track. Thanks GM

[PrincessEnitan]

A piece of history that took twists and turns in Nigeria for three days. They murdered our men for nothing. May their souls continue to rest in peace. And I thank the people that fought Dimka to take gov. back.

[OLUAWO42]

oluwa u said the real fact but obasanjo tije ori awun, that man will never repent

[sawe707]

magnnum01....'Asa nke-okete bayi niwa e'...this is sunny deep with yoruba language. he was actaully refering to all who are boastful. You know okete in Yoruba world view is a diabolical animal. you don't see it in daylight except at night. and it will eat all your grains before discovering all the damaged it capable off.

[Oluyoleibadan1]

[OneWorldOneDestiny]

Beautiful! I'm not surprised, because Groovemonzter has always delivered. Five stars for you, Buddy.

[tolagbaju77]

This album was released before i was born.................i grew up to love KSA oldies far more than his 90's album. How i wish i could get all his album recorded before 1988.

[magnnum01]

This is my favourite Sunny Ade album of all times, I play it frequently, IMHO the Nuances of the bands guitar playing is something else, restrained, tonal, & with a fantastic timbre. Side a of the album has a rather pensive mood, I wonder who Sunny was referring to in 'Asa nke - okete bayi niwa e' ? More significantly this album marks a significant chapter in the history of Nigeria post 15th Jan 1966. Nice one Groovy, time to fill my glass with another dram of my favourite single malt whiskey...

[woleduroladipo1steye]

Obasanjo need to listen to this LP, he needs to repent and appreciate God the more.

[oluwalomejooda001]

The groovemonzter thanks nice one. It´s rocking
