@Omilaje Okuku yemi, sebi oluwa lon'sola, edumare lon'sogo. Ki gbogbo wa jo ma gbadun orin abinibi wa. Odua a gbe wa.

This is great; it brought memory of growing up in the village alive. I wonder if you have other sakara collections such S Aka; and Kilani Yesufu. Only Baba Legba is available. I was socialised into Sakara, Apala, Sekere, Ijala, Esa, Ekun iyawo and even dadakuada. Shame the culture is dying out. Thanks for your efforts to keep it alive.

@isolao Check utube for my sakara post:

Olatunji Ayinde - Ejeka Huwa Rere (Sakara)

S. Alamu & His Band - Owo Legbon / Ka Ranti (Sakara)

I also have waka, apala and agidigbo posts.

Thanks for your comment.

Brother Olusola, the introduction to this upload is excellent. It is very educative. You are educating us all. Keep on the Good Work Brother. Much appreciated and loved.

@sajokumba Thanks. Hopefully the introduction will help younger generation understand the history behind the music they listen to today.
