THIS IS not abusive songs at all--(for all anti-AYINLA observers)its sheer time-hunoured advice a loving respectable father would give to his shrucken brain,erring daughters --
@MassT82 Your comments are so informative and enlightening that I seek out your threads for careful reading and comprehension. I had sent live cds to EgbaAlake that I hope you comment on when he eventually uploads them. Thanks very much for your precise explanation of the lyrics both from the Yoruba and English perspective.
IN an era when most countless young Yoruba ladies especially risking their lives by bleaching their natural black coloured skins to visibly appear "light and white",it had reached endemic proportion,Ayinla Omowura--a natural born observant and brilliant social issues commentator,admonished those senseless and brainless ladies to cease destroying their already God-given glorious black skins thats it was absolute folly of them to do that.
This tune brings back lots of memories of my time in Egba and it was a big event in our household when he decided to praise my father's name in 1976 and played at my grandmother's funeral a year later.
Oh boy I wish had the records you mentioned to contribute...I really do but it is dad who still has all Ayinla's 12 inch vinyls, maybe the next time I visit my dad in Nigeria I will ask him for them, I seem to remember he wasn't as big a fan of Yusuf. Keep up the good work anyway my friend.
