Dele Abiodun, correctly spelt; third force in the juju music hierarchy of the Sunny Ade-Ebenezer Obey generation. His especial gift is arrangement, but he also introduced the gong-agogo ensemble, a range of about six gongs where it used to be one or two. Not as talented as Obey and Sunny Ade as a composer, but Dele Abiodun will liven up an old tune or folk song beyond the pale of ordinary familiarity. He is a more reassuring voice now that the younger generation has gone haywire with so little.

I have more Dele Abiodun that I'll post later. I really like this piece. It's raw and compelling. I wish I could have seen Abiodun and his band live in a club in Lagos. Those must have been some great nights.

Dele Abiodun for most of his musical career remained an ally of Sunny Ade against the ever- present antagonists such as Emperor Pick Peter.His strength lies in his indepth use of street-wise proverbs,most times with caustic taste against his enemies.Strange enough, he came from a part of Edo-state where Yoruba is not spoken.Yet, he is able to carve a niche for himself in the pantheon of Yoruba Juju hierarchy .

Remember the tussle between Dele Abiodun & Pick Peters. The duo, for me, came up with their best output during this period. Spellbinding music. @groovemaster many thanks for sharing.

Dele Abiodun cannot be crowned the king of juju music simply because sunny ade was by far a better singer, dancer and guitarist and his songs had a resonance which A.D.A took his influence from.
