Baba - Iyeoka (Official Audio)

[@XITSONGABombaMugaza]

Found this song in Anselm Nathanael Pahnke's documentary titled "Cape to Cairo by Bike"... fell in love with it

[@rff1231]

Baba means "Father" in Yoruba, Kisawhili, Arabic, Turkish, Farsi; many believe this correlation of language roots from the belief or theory that Yoruba was the first language widely used in the world. It is also believed that Afrikans from Yorubaland, split off and settled in many different lands, thus they adapted to the land (Physically, spiritually, and Culturally) and creating their own cultures by adding or taking to/from the one they already had. *BONUS* In Japanese "Baba" means mother or grandmother! Powerful stuff! Baba is a respectable title also used in the New Afrikan and Pan Afrikan (Afrikan Nationalist) community around the world.

[@joshuaadams7923]

I don't know where you saw that baba meant father in japanese. It is usely used for grandmothers or old women.. baba is more often associated to mama than father as far as I know..

[@rff1231]

Anime, I guess that's not a good source huh? And, ok thanks for the translation; the correlation still applies. Words usually mean different things in many different languages. Cool huh? :)

[@danieljanev8147]

so does in bulgarian ! :) grandmother :)

[@redeyes1919]

In Greek too,but is a brevity of the word "pateras" that means father. All lenguages useing greek words specially in scientific and literay terms.

[@cynthiap6193]

[@obogatic]

In Serbian: Baba means Grandmother and Babo in some parts of Serbia means Father. This goes almost for all Balkan and Slavic languages. Iyeoka is wonderful! This song is spiritual.

[@zeliabora2945]

The comment of Nadir is relevant. Africa is the continent that was the orign of all the languages and races.

Baba is someone who understood life And is guru for some people , or someone beyond the birth and death or reincarnation.

[@rason3206]

Baba we dey change and grow .... nah sooooo....My 1 year old Sun loves this song. Blessings

[@TheGerryward]

THIS IS GREAT....... March 2015 only just heard it.....This should go International

[@Surftouka]

In Greek, we use Patera for Father, so Baba is like Dad. When I was young & we emigrated to the US. Since my friends called their father "daddy" I started calling mine "Babby" which sounds almost like Bobby & my friends thought I was calling my Dad by his first name (unheard of back then)

[@Undergroundsun]

Thanks for this sweet insight :) thanks for listening! Cheers

[@melikemusic100]

Seems like Baba is similar in many languages...a powerful elder. Hopefully, since we are currently under the negative influence of patriarchy, we can embrace the power of the matriarch and its wisdom.

[@marinakovinko403]
