I love this music, it brings great memories fo my childhood in Abeokuta and Lagos.Thanks to the internet, I can enjoy this music in the comfort of my house in the suburb of Nashville and reminiscent of the childhood at Lafenwa and Ketu at Abeokuta. I understand every word even after many years and schooling in the US. My daddy was a local Chief in Abeokuta, the same town Ayinla was born. It hurts to think that Ayinla is dead but great music lasts forever. Thanks for the memories.
well i am a white man but i learn Yoruba Language in In the University of Ibadan Lagos when i went as a tourist to Oshun Osobo day in Osun state so i decided to state and learn the language..well i love Yorubas..Lol but unable to marry one cos i am a white and entitled to one woman..Lol.I love this guy and cos of the Beat alone dont really understand everything he says
This song took me straight to Abeokuta in the early 80's. I remember telling a Cab Driver to turn the volume down. He pulled over and told me to get out of his cab - lol.
This music is forever, its memoirs unique, i remember when Alh. Amusa Gbadamasi opened his house in Asero Abeokuta, Ayinla was the invited grandmaster of the night's entertainment. May the almighty keep his soul forever.
great and salacious lyrics and excellent vocal delivery.OMOWURA -fiercely committed polygamist lambasting one of his errant wife!!--you could easily detect traits of pomposity and sheer fearlessness in his music which is borne out of his incomparable musical heavyweight and awesome talent he had.---even his critics knew "Ayinla is too much"
OMOWURA"s venomous,acid-laden tongue with vituperative anger was "blasphemous" towards all-conquering DEATH?what an unpardondable effontery and impertinence from the great musician to hurl onslaught of sustained abuses to the dreaded DEATH?mentioned that the latter was a thoughtless and senseless,just roaming around ceaselessly and killing with impunity. and Death"s fabled dishevelled and ragged appearance!!! Any unbiased distinguished poet would marvel at Ayinla"s poetic brilliance.
It is very sad that we can not see visual recording of these illustrious son of Africa who died few decades back around early 80s....To call him a genius is an abuse of word...He is simply indiscribable....
Baba is a great music's ion around 1980 i was young I could not always heard baba well but now i had him well.I know.that is a great musicssion.may his soul rest in perfect peace

WAS it the moment Ayinla incurred the devastating,merciless anger of the DEATH?In 1979,a celebrated renowned wealthy businessman with prestigeous chieftancy titled of SERIKI of Egbaland shockingly dead.In the subsequent tribute songs of dedication Omowura waxed for him,he voiceferously railed and ranted;mocking and ridiculed the existence of DEATH!!("iku oponu olomi jabala dudu ohoho,koni ohun ro ju ko ma ju won logo kiri;gbogbo oju pon gbogbo ohun ara re nderuba eniyan).
Fatai Bayewu was not publicly executed. Public execution was the sentence for armed robbery specifically and that was only in the early 70s. More, public execution had been expunged from the criminal code by the time Ayinla was murdered in 1980 and his killer subsequently tried and found guilty. Fatai Bayewu like Eji Gbadero was sentenced to death by hanging.
@Tampinu Go and re listen to Dauda Omowura`s 1st post Ayinla album,you will ascertain what happened to Fatal Bayewun after he had been convicted of AYINLA`s murder--then you will know it wasnt a conjecture tale from me. simply my brother.!
@MassT82 I actually though he was 'dissing' somebody when Anigilaje said that comment which you ascribe to DEATH...The statement wa sfollowed by "Eni a wifun o..Boba l'egbo adun pipo o...Koni Omo eleti Kunkun etc"
@olugbode100 Thanks for your- flattering- sincere compliments---am just an humble roadside carpenter!! but admire Ayinla Omowura`s legendary song-prod-ucing proficiency.
@MassT82 This is news to me: That Fatai Bayewu was publicly executed! I always wondered whatever happened to 'whoever' was unfortunate enough to have murdered "amuludun" Egun Mogaji...humm!
DAUDA`S unfulfilled AYINLA`s gold encrusted dynasty:I doubt if it wasnt devoid of Adewole`s expertise talking drumming; it was severely flawed composition of Apala songs by any imaginable standards Even without cruelly comparing Dauda`s unconvincing repertoire to Ayinla`s enviable legendary talent-any lenient music critic wouldnt give Dauda more than 5 out of 10 in marking!! And as Ayinla famously and excellently phrase it:"Asiki ju ra won lo;oluwa kopin dogba ri"(Side 2, Ise ile lo ba won deta
RE-FATAI BAYEWUN`s public execution--i wasnt refering to familiar "mob justice" where enraged die-hard AYINLA`s fans en masse trooped onto the streets pounced on FATAI with dust-caked,disused car tyre and burned him to death! NO. DAUDA¬s 1st post AYINLA album. he detailed us that FATAI was arraigned at a popular magistrate courtroom in Abeokuta,instantly found guilty of AYINLA`s murder and few weeks later, he faced "firing squad" where stone-hearted,evil-monstering looking,gun totting --

Capital punishment was ultimate sentence for anyone found guilty of murder then. 2 years earlier, EJI GBADERO,a celebrated,upper-crust Egba-born socialite and a descendant scion ,land-owning aristocratic family was found guilty of murder whereupon he was made to face feared "firing squad" and was shot to death . His crime: he was alleged to have matcheted to death an innocent man he had once sold plot of land,UNAWARE,a another man saw
Neither Eji Gbadero nor Fatai Bayewu was killed by a firing squad. Public execution was introduced specifically for the crime of armed robbery in the years following the civil war but the barbaric nature of the punishment was recognized for what it was and it was stopped not long after. Murderers have always suffered death by hanging in Nigeria
DAUDA`S Unfulfilled AYINLA`S gold-encrusted dynasty:Dauda`s first post Ayinla album wasnt a memorable and conspicuous massive success at all! inevitably, he sorrowfully lamented the abrupt and premature loss of AYINLA whereupon he boisterously derided FATAI Bayewun-who had since been convicted of Ayinla `sbloody murder and subsequently publicly executed--with contemptous hatred,tirade of abuses;he likened Fatai to Biblical Lord Jesus Christ`s fatal nemesis-Judas Iscariot!! profanities aplenty!
