Sonny Okosun,it's really sad now when i see some uninformed South Africans picking up weapons and killing their fellow Africans in this stupid xenophobia attacks.Africans united and fought greatly for apartheid to end in South Africa.Sonny Okosun was the greatest voice in music against South Africa.He was probably the first African outside South Africa maybe to sing against apartheid.Papa's land was a classic song and the album cover was as well.There's fire in Soweto,my people are dying,Okosun sang.Who would have believed in 2015 his people will still be dying but not from the enemies this time?.RIP Sonny Okosun.īongos ikwue was the thinking man's Michael Jackson.He was Nigeria's Jim Reeves.So mellow with that voice of his.Searching for was a common song in Nigerian homes back in the days.A proper old school classic.Bongos Ikwue had an album out recently,i think it was 2013 or 2014.the man is in his 70s now and sounds fantastic still.
Ahuja Bello was a guy who looked and sounded so much like King Sunny Ade.If you were not very in tuned to Sunny Ade's music or have great ears for music,you heard him and the first thing you thought was,when did Sunny release this album?Sadly a very bad car accident curtailed Ahuja Bello's career and never quite fulfilled his potential.But he still makes it on my classic Nigerian old school list with this album cover.
