  • oronbaba pls post the complete video track of this Ibe z m ako....

  • @peterclaver84 I'll try to get to that soon...

  • Please, post more of this original song. I was a very small kid then. But this video tells a lot about our people then: what they wore, their hair style, some with big akpola, some bare-footed. Very interesting. Needs more please Oronbaba

  • i'll work on it, appollopd... in the meantime, check out my other videos.

  • Dude, is this clip longer than what was posted? If yes, could you post the remaining parts? I was a youngster when this music came out, about 1978. I believe this was their first lp after Akwila and Ichita left the band. Aloy Anyanwu displayed his expertise at base guitar playing in this album. What a memeory and how sad that Warrior is no more.

    Thank you, Oronbaba. Post some more if could this

  • sorry, Chib... this is the whole clip.

    there are some other Oriental Brothers clips on YouTube, though (most of them are not as good as this one, though!)

see all
