 Detainment News' Oris Willeke, one of Nigeria's pioneer reggae musicians, says there is no need for comparison between artists of the 60s, 70s, 80s and the Millennial artists. In an interview with Plus TV News, the producer, songwriter explained that the contents that they were producing at the time were mostly to liberate Nigerians from the Gestapo era of military rule. They presided, they praised the new artists for putting the country on the world map. We're coming from a dark age where a lot of people were under pressure, as my brother would say. We were under the military and there was a lot of brutality and we wanted freedom for democracy. So if you look at the lyrics of contents that were coming out of that time, they were unique and perceived to be in one direction, you understand? So we talked about the freedom in South Africa, the liberation of the South Africa, you know? So at the end of the day, you realize that the message people were used to then was the words and passion for liberation. So and it got to the point also where I think the airwaves was too saturated with such kind of music and first of all, music comes in style and pattern, it comes in fashion, you understand? So it's like a round football, so it goes round like this and it changes with time. And so by the time the youth felt well, they're tired of this, no light, no water, no this, no this, they wanted something new. So they were able to come up with a unique sound, a sound that nowadays we were not able to actually come up with because we used to argue amongst ourselves, do we have a Nigerian music? You know? It was difficult because you cannot say Aqbala, it's Nigerian music because it's unique to a particular section. You cannot say how life was from Ghana. You cannot say the traditional music that we know because it's not national. So we needed a nationalistic sound which we couldn't get but today the youth have been able to come up with a unique sound. If you play it in Asia, you say this is a Nigerian sound. If you play it in America, you say this is a song from Nigeria because they've been able to come up with a unique pattern of music that is original to Nigeria. The music legend sang one of his popular songs, Mubala Mumbai, explaining that the music is medicinal and the calling to be a musician is not to retire until God calls. When asked if he would like to work with the young ones, he responded this way. God help you if you do not have any physical disability, a musician should play to entice the grave because it's a calling. It's not like the civil service where you have a number of age that you will serve and then retire. Look at King Soniadeh, he's still bubbling. There is no day he's not on stage. You think of the energy at servitude something. So it's a unique calling and with the calling, you realize that your body is aligned to it. If you don't play music for one, two weeks, you look sick. If you're looking for an organic sound that is unique to one person, then it's the video. I also work with Bonnaboy because of his creativity. He can take a line from any song and turn it to something nice. Whiskey is also very good. But Whiskey is more of thinking of the perception of an international artist. So when he writes his song, he ensure that he embellishes with the unique international sound that he thinks is acceptable. Thanks for the win, Bonnaboy. Because it's something we couldn't do in our days, but thank God it's your time. So congratulations. Play me that music of Africa that never grew old. Tell me the history of Africa that's never been told. Africa nice, money so nice. Africa cool, money so cool. Africa sweet, money so sweet like that sugar and spice. My bad. Take it again. The saddest song of the time, the saddest song of the future. Sad of drugs, sad of courtes.
