How comes most early Yoruba songs are prayerful songs but the new generation yoruba tunes are about Bling, Bling and more Bling!...Cha!

Until now I used to think this song belonged to I.K. Dairo. Even now I find it quite difficult to accept that it doesn't, though I can hear tell-tale traits of voice that say it indeed does not. Wow, this guy must have imitated I.K. Dairo to the very last note: the accordion, the vocalling, the acuba drum and everything else! These are the songs of childhood for many us, and to reconnect with them in a foreign land is a tremendously enriching experience. So, really, who was Kayode Ige? Tani? lol

Hello Outreachat. The only reference I can find for Kayode Ige is in a book by Christopher Alan Waterman titled: Juju - A social history and ethnography of an african popular music. Kayode Ige was an Ijesa bandleader whose musical career in the 50's and 60's paralel artistes such as: Suberu Oni, Theophilus Iwalokun, Dele Ojo, I.K. Dairo, Idowu Animasaun, I.B. Oriowo, Fasco Da Gama.

All these artistes were instrumental in blending elements of local traditions and the use of regional dialects in highlife and Juju music of the late 50's and 60's.

I remember distinctively listening to Kayode Ige's 'Ise Aje' recording on radio growing up as a small boy in Lagos. He's one of the true pioneer of the juju genre on par with the likes of Ayinde Bakare.
