Oriental Brothers uno de los grupos africanos mas queridos en la costa caribe de Colombia, desde los años 70s. Orientals Brothers es un grupo legendario con su cantante Sir Warrior y el espectacular Kabaka, bajo la batuta del musico Dan Satch Opara. Se pueden contar entre los papas de la champeta, entre otras influencias que dieron nacimiento a este genero musical. Palenque Records presenta en exclusiva este nuevo video filmado en Owrerri, Nigeria, y muy pronto lanzaremos el nuevo disco de esta agrupacion legendaria en el mundo entero, con millones de seguidores, leyendas vivas del highlife igbo en Nigeria.
The Oriental Brothers International Band is a popular Igbo highlife boy band from Nigeria [based in Owerri] for several decades, known for their powerful lyrics (whether it be of proverbs, or specials being dedicated to special people in the country of Nigeria), and deft instrumental work (whether of the lead guitar, or the conga man's professional play of the congas in their break sections of songs) with their unique style of highlife. The Original Oriental Brothers International consisted of five members; Godwin "Kabaka" Opara [leader of the band, and rhythm guitarist], Chief Christogonus "Dr. Sir Warrior" Ezewuiro Obinna [vocalist, also know asUltimate Dr. Sir Warrior from 1993-'96], Ferdinand "DanSatch" Chukwuemeka Opara [Founder, lead guitarist, bass player till 1976 when self-titled album, featuring song "Murtala Mohammed," released], Livinus Akwịla (spelt "Aquila" in English) Alaribe [conga player and maraca player], and finally, Fred "Ichita" Ahumaraeze [drummer]. Later members came at the time of the band being, such as Charles Boumda, Aloysius (Aloy) Anyanwu, and Tony Awoma [who was apart of the band with Satch in the beginning before the band formed, but left because he could not stay in one place].
Their album, "Uwa Atualamujo/ Ihe Chinyere," was their debut album for the band, recorded in Decca West Africa Studio in 1973. Their popularity wouldn't rise until their 1974 album, "Oriental Brothers International," released and became a hit, with track B2, "Ihe Oma," becoming most popular out of the six tracks for it's lyrics and popular rhythm guitar melody, which was continually used in their highlife, merengue, and makossa style songs (Such as "Onye Obula Zoba Isi Onwe Ya" [Warrior], "Anyi Abiala Ọzọ" [Oriental Original], "Elu Rie Ala Rie" [Led by DanSatch], and "M'Leghe Onye" [Anyanwu]). The band was also in some troubles of their own at some cases, where disputes broke out and members left for forming their own bands. Kabaka was the first to leave, for the sake of feeling uncomfortable for leading someone else's band, and forming his Kabaka International Guitar Band, Ichita and Aquila leaving next to form their own band, The Great Oriental Brothers International Band (which was a massive flop), Aloy Anyanwu leaving to form the State Brothers International, and finally Warrior leaving to form Dr. Sir Warrior and His Oriental Brothers International Band. Warrior became the most popular out of all the bands, with Kabaka 2nd, Anyanwu 3rd, and DanSatch 4th in popularity. Two compilation albums were made to credit the popular works of the Oriental Brothers when they were the Original Oriental Brothers, which was "The best of: Oriental Brothers International," and "Heavy on the Highlife!" with the inclusion of two extra tracks, Warrior's "Na Kwa Echeki," and DanSatch's "Ihe Eji Aku Eme." Though DanSatch, Kabaka, and Warrior were of their own bands (excluding Aquila and Ichita, because Ichita passed in the early 80s, and Aquila moved to DanSatch's Orientals, then later moved to Warrior's, and became more like a regular member of the band, and lost less recognition), they, altogether, made two albums, putting aside their differences and collaborating together to make an song as the Originals, though they never formed back again.
"Anyi Abiala Ọzọ," and "Oriental Ga-Ebi" were the only two albums created as a collaborative effort of the three former members, before the passing of Warrior. Even after the passing of Warrior, DanSatch & Aquila, accompanied with a few other former members, including Kabaka in some cases, played old songs live to bring up and still popularize the name of the Original Oriental Brothers International. Warrior's two sons, Uche and Ajuzieogu Obinna, also try and commemorate the memory of their late father, by paying tribute in their tribute album, and performing live at conventions, singing songs of Warrior from the 80s-90s in His Oriental Brothers International Band.

I feel bad that till now, no government in Imo state thought it wise to name any street na Ala Owerri Oriental brothers street or road . For making Ala Igbo proud after the Civil War. I will be glad to see that. They need to be immortalized for their good works.

[@ngoziemenike2876]

I'm happy seeing Dan Satch, Akwila and Kabaka still alive. May God prolong your lives. Long live Oriental brothers International. May God Almighty provide 4 u through this music.

[@nwanerisanctus3136]

Kabaka is no longer with them. He instead started his own as he did in the past.

Just listen to all the instruments they all sound Original. I love you guys on behalf of my dead parents i will like to thank all of you for being our radio heroes.

Wow, I didn't know they were still alive ooh. Wow

[@Zaramoku]

It is respectable and respectful that Dan Satch sings as himself now, instead of his hitherto lip syncing to Sir Warrior's voice. His singing is alright, he should always sing as himself because Warrior is irreplaceable and irreplicable. Akwila seems to have eye problems, I hope he's not blind now. You folks were so great in your era that you should lack nothing now (the guitars used here are worn-out) if you were properly managed in your heydays. Hopefully I get the chance to interview you guys (and Kabaka plus Tony Awoma) soon for a book and a possible documentary/movie on the Oriental Brothers.
