THIS IS A REAL BEER PARLOUR MUSIC. NICE ONE PLANETOLUSOLA

[zookat]

Yes, he sang is as "Balongo"... that's his adulterated pronunciation of "Palongo." I kind of like the way he says it. That shows that Palongo is a dance far removed from his own comfort zone... it is like an opera singer trying to understand rap music. Ligali Mukaiba sort of mocked or did a parody of Palongo here.

Beer parlour indeed i love it though BALONGO AND TANTIRIN all goes

[MrOmo9ja]

Is he saying "BALONGO" or "PALANGO" ? think i'm hearing "BALONGO" but "PALONGO" is more popular. Which is which?

[planetolusola]

@MrOmo9ja He is saying 'Palongo'. A popular dance style in the 60's.

[gpopoola]

This is a great music, composition and lyrics of its time. My due respect to whoever post this remarkable old apala music of my time. Please post more of Ligali. God Bless You from the bottom of my hearth.

Ijo palongo...Ewu Agbada...Sokoto Tantirin...Awon bata onigi odo.....

PALONGO IJO YA!!!

[Outreachat]

It is really apala music, of a slightly different tenor from what is usually associated with Haruna Ishola, Kasumu Adio and Ajao Oru. Interestingly, all, including Batile Alake, were Ijebu, from Ijebu-Igbo and Oru; Ligali Mukaiba, also an Ijebu, was from Epe, Salawa Abeni's hometown. We tend to associate apala almost exclusively with Haruna Ishola, but remember even Ayinla Omowura, an Egba, and Labaeka, an Ilorin, and Y.K. Ajadi, all played apala, not to mention Yusuf Olatunji's sakara variety.

I believe it's very important these music are kept for posterity reasons. Our children unborn have the rights to listen to these great songs.

[tonyajayi]

@Outreachat Ligali Mukaiba is the founder of APALA genre. But death cut his life short. Then,a little later Haruna Ishola took over the reign!. IJEBULAND never accepted any substitute. Haruna Ishola tried very hard got really popular and took the genre to the international level. BUT ,the IJEBUS cannot be convinced.

A month ago,when I heard this song here,I now know the reason why!....

LIGALI MUKAIBA WAS A GENIUS AS YOU ALL CAN SEE!!!.

[Outreachat]

@tonyajayi: That is incorrect. Ligali Mukaiba was singing well into the 80s or 90s; Haruna Ishola died in 1983. Both were Ijebu, the one from Epe, the other from Ijebu-Igbo. They were both playing apala only in generic terms, terms that would include Yusuf Olatunji and Ayinla Omowura. In truth all those musicians believed they were pioneering different traditions; Ishola's was both the most popular and also the mainstream. Any challenges he faced in that status came from Omowura and not Mukaiba.

[tonyajayi]

@Outreachat My broda,Ligali Mukaiba died long ago in the 1960s!.

[planetolusola]

Beer parlour music - let the stout and oguro flow baby, let it flow!.

[Outreachat]

Listen to the second track in this video and you'll catch one of the freakiest occurrences in art. Ligali Mukaiba's trademark tremulous voice recalls Candi Staton's, in songs such as "Victim", "Ghetto", "Young Hearts Run Free", etc!
