This is SUPER far back 83. Show me a man who is diligent in his work He will not stand before mean men He will stand before the King's Baba Obey and Intereformer band has rock the world with their talents and diligence and this has make their name to be written with indelible ink in the hearts of the born and the unborn that are still going to see this superb live performances on a foreign soul.
EBENEZER OBEY the legend of the legendary of solemn, sweet, cool, indigenous, pleasing and majestic juju music reformer of Yoruba-land. Thank you for your entertainment and talent of making the people of southern Nigeria proud and happy. You are already in the record books of juju music stars and fans worldwide. We raise our caps for the majesty of your own kind of juju music class you single handedly created for the people of Nigeria as a whole. Long live EBENEZER OBEY and his entire family. Wake up Tolu Obey to the call, task, continuity and challenge. We the fans will continue to dance to your father's music as long as GOD wants it to last. Play it and play on, we will keep on listening and enjoying it until ever....Any time I see the picture of EBENEZER OBEY, I call him the PROGENITOR of modern JUJU music of our time and age.
These people are really great performers. They perform there assignment with brilliant enthusiasm, especially, David Olaleye,Folorunso peperempe,Bode Akiwowo and finally,Giwa Ojo Arigidi. May the souls of some of the departed amongst them rest in perfect peace IJMN. This why Ebenezer Obey has always been my musical heroe. God prolong his life for us.
The main transformation element behind Baba Obey's accomplishment in music is Pastor Paul Tao but unfortunately he's not often recognized. Nigerian master guitarist of all times. Paul Tao the legend Happy 70th birthday in advance come June 2024 by the grace of God I salute the entire team in this video.
As highly interesting as this musical video is, the MAIN FLAW in it is that the recording personnel gave very little focus to the lead singer ( COMMANDER EBENEZER OBEY). In an important musical concert like this, there should be a very great emphasis on the lead singer.
I was at this event in Canada, great entertainment by the chief himself, his 2nd band represented him as he was not there he had an important social event to attend to in Lagos.
@KayodeAdedare-ld3ff Not really, the head of his 2nd band looks like him, and they also have more or less the same voice. Where you there in Montreal that day, ? I was there.
Good music..but am not sure if this was Montreal Festival of 1983 or around 1985-86.This is bcos,the songs here are frm Obey's 1985/86 Album.. kindly confirm pls...Great music.. Proudly Nigerian!
As beautiful as this is show is internationally appropriated by the white people the only fault and stupid side attraction thing is the guy who put on hausa cap instead of putting on yoruba hat to promote yoruba cultural dance and tradition he spoiled the show completely,
i know few lol back up singers: Bode Akiwowo (bass) Akin Atoke (treble) Brother David (alto/high tone) Simoni on talking drum/iya ilu Paul Tao on the lead guitar Francis on the bass guitar that's all i know lol
This is SUPER far back 83.
Show me a man who is diligent in his work
He will not stand before mean men
He will stand before the King's
Baba Obey and Intereformer band has rock the world with their talents and diligence and this has make their name to be written with indelible ink in the hearts of the born and the unborn that are still going to see this superb live performances on a foreign soul.
Special request from the great team who uploaded this video that we want more of this lives to be uploaded, many thanks for you guys

@@ayyodeleBaba David Olaleye is based in the U.S.A.
@@ayyodelebaba David olaleye
2:56 onward 3:16
These back up singers are world class…. See the happiness in their faces, the dancing, the joy they were showing in what they do.
When coming to abroad is an issue.
@@amosolugbemi842that's not the case, they love what they do and do it pretty well, they were too good..
@@ruggedtobbyYeah right
The main transformation element behind Baba Obey's accomplishment in music is Pastor Paul Tao but unfortunately he's not often recognized. Nigerian master guitarist of all times. Paul Tao the legend Happy 70th birthday in advance come June 2024 by the grace of God
I salute the entire team in this video.
Baba Paul Tao was very instrumental to the band and many others like Ayewa and the RCCG Choir.
Paul Tao dexterity on the guitar is top notch
It will go down in Nigerian music history that these are the real music performers, likes of him, King Sunny Ade, Fela Kuti.
0:46 talking drummer, Simoni Ayelabowo
He is a legend. My music hero of all seasons. Thank you sir.
Our own Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey 👍🌹🥰❤!
God will continue to uphold you Baba 🙏❣️
Chief Commander Ebenezer Remilekun Olasupo Aremu Obey Fabiyi (MFR) ......The great legend !

EBENEZER OBEY, the great musician, my mentor
These people are really great. I can see the success of teamwork in the shows that everyone should be compensated accordingly
I was at this event in Canada, great entertainment by the chief himself, his 2nd band represented him as he was not there he had an important social event to attend to in Lagos.
Obey was there. His voice is well identifiable by me !
@KayodeAdedare-ld3ff Not really, the head of his 2nd band looks like him, and they also have more or less the same voice. Where you there in Montreal that day, ? I was there.
Over was the lead vocalist here, kindly watch this again
Paul Tao is just something else, neatly blend jazz stuff into juju.
As in baba too good
The recording hardly covered the lead singer
Great performance still, Obey, my all time best indigenous singer, my adopted father😂
Baba is camera shy. So he blended with the band
Dear Kenny Joker, can you please upload more of Obey lives concert like this very one which is very entertaining?
Baba milliki the great musician of our time Kudos.

Please, can they upload more of Ebenezer Obey's lives concerts in the 80s? we like to see more of this, thanks
Thank God for the current ambience, unlike 1983!!!
Good music..but am not sure if this was Montreal Festival of 1983 or around 1985-86.This is bcos,the songs here are frm Obey's 1985/86 Album.. kindly confirm pls...Great music.. Proudly Nigerian!
I love ur music long life sir.
possibly the songs were still not completed for album purposes by then
You are right
Songs here are from the Side B of his "Singing for the people" Album..which was around 1985/86..I think
Most of the songs sung here were released in the early 1980s.
The great promoter of Nigeria and our culture.
Kudos to all the band members!
Evergreen
Obey you are a great musician. Ayo Adio.
Baba Commander is so grt. Full of wisdom.
