Atabala means Tilapia fish in Kalabari language. RIP David Bull.

Nigerian Music ain't like this no more dey all mixed it with todays hip-hop there's passion but it lacks soul....just my opinion

[LoveDialogue]

Yes Sir. professional Seagulls. Keep The spirit of Rex Lawson going. These were Rex's band after his death. I wish I know what Atabala means, Boy this group can play. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
