Lankua - Chronicles of a Juju Music Guitarist. (Life lessons 001)

This interview is different sort of. Adebola Adedeji aka Lankua tells the story of Juju bands in Nigeria from his perspective from the late 60s.

[@user-uz4kb3zt9x]

Wow! Please give this man an award oooo

[@user-uz4kb3zt9x]

This man is a genius and guitar specialist…..just wondering how he was so comfortable playing all

[@seunbanwo1828]

Imagine if he was getting royalties for his immense talent. So many band members of great musicians are living in penury. It is never too late. His talent can still make a way for him. May God help him. Amen

[@oladelejoshua9121]

Wow,this man is currently playing in my church

[@damiolajide2059]

The man Lankua is a genius! I bow o. Sad to see him in this condition. God is in control.

[@user-uz4kb3zt9x]

I love this interview and this man’s sincerity. @Dele-PLEASE interview any of Dr Orlando Owoh’s members ooo

[@raytopson2828]

Though I never heard about this great man since,,,but his situation is too pathetic despite d huge talents he,s blessed with,,,May God almighty open his floodgates of mercy upon u and d humble family,,,ijn

[@Zendaya63]

One thing is discernable from this discourse; the loose nature of employment. No contract of employment, hence they can leave the band at anytime. They are paid per each engagement. Good job.

[@user-zd1po2jj3u]

Life!I am just short of words.

[@aybiggy]

This people did not have access to what we have now reason they just created their own way of playing.Kudos to all that played juju in their era

[@adesewa100]

I love you my brother....nice research 💕💕💕

[@MrAdesugar]

[@user-uz4kb3zt9x]

[@lasshipping]

[@thegoodreason8059]

Nigeria is just behind in every way! Lord have mercy….

[@crownedking2567]

This man is great.

[@adisashaffi2660]

This man is talented

[@delesenbanjo5363]

This baba gave a credible answer to my questions. I patiently listened to his words. He is a great Guitarist and full of knowledge. Dr Orlando Owoh moved the world with his style of highlife music as well. Many thanks

[@akeemoyegoke4488]

Really touched. What dollar account one can donate to from abroad to put widow's mite?

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

The none Yoruba speaking fan members would be extremely grateful if someone would give a brief description of what happened or what what was supposed to happen. 👍👍👍👍

[@easybayoo]

Good job

[@johndewole6041]

the spanish tunning is monotonous and easy way of playing double notes. the highlife tuning gives you the opportunity to play all genres of music.. Nice job sir

[@rgbphotomediaprod.2384]

So so sad to hear this man with immense talents could end up this way.

[@macwesborn2583]

He is a happy man......

[@MegaOlalekan]

Standard tuning E, B, G, D, A E can be used to play Spanish, Juju, Highlife, Blues, Country, Jazz, R&B and many other genres of music. The use of Capo limits navigation of guitar fretboard. Skillful Lead Guitarists do not use Capo which is okay for some Rhythm Guitarists.

[@simeonakins9661]

I just watched this interview till the end now, this baba lankua story is really saddened and terrible. Nothing is too small to assist this baba, may baba find helper of destiny. I will also drop something

[@biolaadebayo3946]

Research into a juju musician called Ayus Abiodun who was staying at 39a, Isolo Road, Muslin in 1971 or thereabouts

[@adisashaffi2660]

Let ne correct Mr. Lankua the date that he was talking about played with Ebenezer Obey's band was suppose to be between 1978-1979, because in 1980 Obey music was in high tempo. Pual Tao, Frances Aluko, Abiodun Koleosho, Gabriel Adedeji, Dele. They are all reformed guitarist, Isaac played Hawaiian and Sunday Fadugba play band sets and so on and forth.

[@LauraEtemah]

Thanks for the info. Please, who played the guitar solos in: 'Oro Oluwa Ede?'

[@bamideleakanbi8188]

Maybe the person whose money baba stole to travel to Lagos curse him, because I remember in his story that he was sent to collect money from somebody and after collecting the money, he left for Lagos. The man must have cursed him out of annoyance maybe, that is why we should be very careful of whatsoever we do in this life, I pity him so much. God in His infinite mercy will remove the curse on him in Jesus name

[@bisiashimi1656]

Deep

[@josephsquires3458]

My thoughts as well.

[@J6_lasisi]

Mmm

[@tundeolarinde1663]

Agbaletu, dat man has God's calling, unless & until he harken to it. He may not get out of his ordeal. Bcs, according to him, he said they seen vision to him, but you cut him short, when he wanted to narrate it. He should go to a spiritual church for cancelling, they will reveal to him hw to over come his plight.

[@rotymbull787]

Ple are really suffering I tire for NIGERIA

[@adebowalebabalola3570]

This program will run for another hundred years cos this guy called Agbaletu is opening what will open the future. I equally don’t know the meaning of my comment though.

[@lilywhite5265]

Wow I can't believe what I'm hearing. When an incompetent guitarist earn more than N500,000 in a week here in abroad. " o ma se o.

[@josepholushola3252]

Honestly, naija is full of talents and potentials but sadly, many of these talents have wasted away. In a saner society, this man would be giving masterclasses. Today, many guitarists who don't know nothing will be boasting around.

[@MegaOlalekan]

I commend you, Agbalętu presenter for a job well done. Please, let me know how to contact you.
