My father had this album and as a little kid, I wore a groove in it. I would dance around the living room and "sing" along with it. I can't speak or understand yoruba or ibo or whichever west african language this is but I "sang" along anyway and had a ball. I can still recall the mangled approximations of "words" from my childhood more than 35 years later. Brings a smile to my face.
I am loving this music, i only just came across Mr Olatunji's music from the credits on Greencard (the movie). Nostalgic music - sounds of the South Western Nigeria. Ku ise Alagba Olatunji...lol
I wish I could have somebody come perform this powerful type of music at the LOVE FOR AFRICA FESTIVAL.
If anybody is interested, contact me and we'll talk.
