ALHJ. AYINLA OMOWURA-Ile Akoko Ni won Gbedo

[@florasuites6899]

As great as Ayinla Omowura was in his lifetime, it was after his demise that the elite and the establishment realised what a gem he actually was. Although he was spinning out hits after hits yet he was regarded as playing music fit only for 'eleran' and 'agbero'. Thank God that has changed and generations that were not born in 1980 when he passed have come to know and appreciate the man and his music.

I don't know why I loved his music

how I wish alhaji costly is still alive, I remember wen he came to idumota Lagos island,4 Ogun festival, he's a Messiah.

[@ajedeluwasa]

Reminds me of the '70's in Isale Eko Lagos. Ayinla, Orlando Owoh, Theophilous Iwalokun, Salami Balogun Lefty, Yusuf Olatunji, Saka Olayigbade, were my favorites. But Ayinla topped them all. Thanks for posting.

Nice one Omowura..RIP

[@rasheedafolabi345]

How I wish I can get the video recordings of Omowura's live performance on stage because his songs and lyrincs are all epitome of yoruba legacy. Anigilaje Ayinla ara ijamo omo epo pon roro aja aro dede continue to rest in peace

@@johnsonolajide4647 This is good information. In fact, in my over 30 years of knowing about Ayinla's Music, I never knew I could get his video anywhere. Thank you.

Prince ..your Yoruba is fractured, like so many mercenaries Yoruba's. Come back home to infuse new meaning to your understandings of our language, and accents.

[@PrinceSomorin]

@@juwe9516 I’m good. I will not be judged based on not hearing the lyrics from one single and overdubbed song.

[@PrinceSomorin]

@@megavisartguru Thank you for the clarification. I couldn’t quite hear it. I was at his gravesite and memorial early last year.
