Sir Victor Uwaifo & his Melody Maestroes Ekassa No 1

[MrBrooklynScott]

One of SVU's best Ekassas!

The smooth coordination of the rhythm is enchanting. It points to the fact that Jazz and blues had their roots in African music.

ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, its so good to listen to good music... am jaming with my guitar at 1.00am. It feels so good. Thanks for this track. Pls give me more

[ukendcx2000]

Funky, like their version of James Brown or something ...

[funketabla1]

A classic track with a beautiful and intricate groove!

[MegaDogood]

Life is: What do you want? Sir Uwaifo may not have been played on a large scale like his compeers but the truth remains that the life later blessed him. He is a lesson in steadfastness as he was rewarded with the honor of being a Commissioner in Edo State govt Executive Council. His flamboyant guitar sound is unbeatable. His "Jojo" is a household track in West Africa.

[Nestoba]

You call that a reward to serve in Lucky led government!

[igbos27]

I hate to waste my time on DEAD MISANTHROPES! If Lucky ruled Edo or ruminated in it does not detract from the fact that Sir Victor Uwaifo was a serving Commissioner and doled out orders as a member of the State Executive Council. Benin City is my witness! I am just wondering... When will YOU be ELECTED the grand Messiah who MUST better the lots of EDO and so reward Sir Uwaifo better than Lucky did? Pray hard, let God do it.

[Nestoba]

The same guy sacked the disable people that were employed in the Edo state arts and culture. You were there!

[Outreachat]

The beat reminds me of Jimmy Cliff's "Bongoman".

Of the more considerable musicians Nigeria has produced Sir Victor Uwaifo is perhaps the most under-appreciated. He called his band the Maestroes, and indeed Uwaifo was one of the earliest true maestroes we ever had, along with Bobby Benson and Hubert Ogunde (who was also a major musician apart from being Nigeria's leading folk dramatist). Part of the reason was because Uwaifo was too localized, playing mainly to his Edo-Bini crowds, a bind that his successors have not escaped from even now.

[uchewali86]

i truly agree with u

[Nestoba]

Making international band tour would have been another way

[TerrierBram]

Grooving again. It is similar to Dub. Very nice.

[groovemonzter]

Interesting observation. I agree.

[kyleturner16]

@TerrierBram "It is similar to Dub." Wait...Scratch that. Reverse it....Dub is similar to this.

[TerrierBram]

@kyleturner16 If they are similar that doesn’t matter. But if a matter is a fact the roots of Dub, version, and Dub itself are from before 1973.
