NOSTALGIA all over, late 80's. Miss those years
Glad you enjoyed it. Please check out the other "Orlando Julius EKEMODE (OJ)" clips that I have posted. Regards...
I came across this great Music Art in 1985 on the NTA stations (Ibadan and Ilorin) those memorable days, in fact l used to play the horns lines with some group of young musicians way back then which has tremendously enhance our musicianship in all ramifications of artistic developments. Thanks and bless you Baba OJ, you're ever celebrated always, our Maestro and Mentor.
nolstagia...i was in primary school back in those days.sweet memories.
same here
Loves all his songs.what a great legend!!
This song is awesome. I remember watching this on NTA Ilorin. Thank you for uploading it.
I am a keen lover of traditions and culture, it sucks to see the younger generation, have very little understanding of it, but instead embrace alien religion.
Awon ti ilorin eyin da? Especially on Sunday afternoon lol
Ore Yeyye O,Ore Yeye O,Ore Yeye Osun,Ota-o,omi-o,Ore Yeye Osun!!!!! E ku Se Baba OJ. Yeye Osun has made Osogbo the place to be!!!!!!!!!!!
The common misconception about Yoruba Religion is that there are many gods - this is not the case. Olorun, Olodumare, Olofin is revered as the one and only Supreme Being, & the Orisa are pretty much regarded as Saints or the Chosen (Eni ti Ori ti ṣà).
The renowned Yoruba philosopher, late Prof Sophie Oluwole explains this beautifully…
RIP O ( ;-(
No matter what year it wqs release the most important thing is the opportunity to watch it on youtube , thanks so much for this post . I love the YORUBA CULTURE SO RICH AND INTERSETING , THANKS FOR THIS POST . GOD BLESS
I appreciate you bro.... you are a hero for sharing this. Afro beat and my culture. Cheers
This is nostalgic. Thanks very much
This takes me way back,Baba OJ you have no idea,how this video makes me feel. thanks
Great and evergreen Music,Thank you Baba Orlando.

Bolaji Egunjobi greets you. Igbale yio gbe wa oo
Rest in peace OJ!
NTA Yola played this music those days...hmmm...those days....
What I still don't understand is how they shot this video. I mean, this looks like a live performance, yet the sound is so cohesive, as if it was recorded in a studio...same with his other songs, especially DANCE AFRO BEAT....
@@ebenezerkomolafe4626 Tunde Kelani Wale Fanu and Orlando Julius knew their onions. Orlando studied audio engineering and video.
the guy is so wholesome even non-yoruba deities are inclined to join the fun!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful!!
i like it
Rip,Legend of highlife music
Afrobeat
The song and video was definately not recorded in 1987. It should be around 1983-1984. I can see the Lijadu sisters in the video. Can you see them too? This is a lovely song.
It is right, it is around 1987..
I came across this great art in 1985 on the NTA stations those great days, infact l used to play the trumpet lines with some group of young musicians way back then. 1987 is very incorrect please. Thanks and bless you baba OJ, you are ever celebrated sir our great Maestro and mentor.
I still remember the ever green song since my childhood in 2020. NTA Ibadan played this then .
Ose o...
I still stand by the posted date of the production of the tape.
AFROBEATS!!!
afrobeat(s) is different from afrobeat
Sir is like I see Lijadu sisters in this video?
i'm speechless, this is the shiznit!!! zookat yu'r the man (or woman).lol.
The 1987 citation at the end of the video is incorrect. Even the first major remake of the song, as well as of many other OJ songs on youtube, was in 1984 or '85. the same footage posted on youtube here was what ruled television airwaves in western Nigeria at the time. It is commendable that the different video tracks have been salvaged with minimal damage to quality, a very rare thing with archival material in Nigerian music. But they were not made in 1987, please.
Great. Appreciate everyone who has contributed to the succes of this production. Our culture is our heritage.
You are very correct, the appearance of the Lijadu sisters in the video confirmed that this video was not made in 1987. The two sisters were already in London by then
Glad that you love and appreciate this as much as I do! Btw, zookat = male (zookatress = female version?) (-:
