GOOD FATHER - Prince Nico Mbarga & Rocafil Jazz (Father's Day song) - Original
Prince Nico Mbarga (1 January 1950 - 23 June 1997) is renowned for his hit song "Sweet Mother", recorded with his band Rocafil Jazz, which has been described as the best-selling song in history by an African recording artist.
He was a Cameroonian-Nigerian highlife musician, born to a Nigerian mother and a Cameroonian father in Abakaliki, Nigeria.
#GoodFather #FathersDay #PrinceNicoMbarga
He played the xylophone, conga, drums, bass guitar and electric guitar. He first started playing in school bands and he made his professional debut as a member of a hotel band, the Melody Orchestra, in 1970.
Although he only recorded one significant hit, "Sweet Mother," in 1976, which sold more than 13 million copies, Mbarga played an important role in the evolution of African popular music. With his soulful vocals set to the light melodies of his acoustic guitar, Mbarga created a unique hybrid of Nigerian and Congolese guitar playing and uplifting highlife rhythms. He formed his own group, Rocafil Jazz, to perform regularly at the Plaza Hotel in the eastern Nigerian city of Onitsha.
He owned and managed the four-star hotel, the Sweet Mother Hotel, named after his hit song. The hotel is located in the town of Ikom in Cross River State Nigeria, just minutes away from the Cameroon-Nigeria border.
"Sweet Mother" is sometimes called "Africa's anthem" and has been voted Africa's favourite song by BBC readers and listeners. #SweetMother #MothersDay #Song
GOOD FATHER is the Father's Day equivalent of the SWEET MOTHER song.

Hmmm ! This is memory lane. Kofi Ani Johnson and the Parrots Band was dance band on the 1970s. After the Parrots Ani formed a gospel group called Kofi Ani Johnson and the Sisters. Itcwas a delight to see the Sisters on sax and trumpets when in action. We happened to be fellow church members at God's Church of Peace along with Ani's old time friend Kwaku Duro whose name appeared in his popular 'Madamfo Pa B3ko' song. Waaassoooo I have been lent into memory lane really. I remember Ani, the Sisters and Kwaku Durowell when in the same church church those days. Ani snd tyecSusters akways opened the Praus3s and Worship sessions with very good and inspiring gospel music that kept many church members on our feet in hilarious moments. Ani and the Sisters were at their usual best during time for collection/offertory. Ani and the Sisters never missed in action during church sessions at the time for ' Adansedie' time at the church service. He made church sessions at Gods Church of Peace interedting. He usually lauched and unveiled all the new gospel songs meant to be produced at the church sessions before they could be heard . Hmmmm ! And quite recently, in my solitary thinking in the confort of my room, i tried to Google for Kofi Ani Johnson. And the info I had on him was scanty. I therefore wondered how a gem of a musician like Ani can so easily be forgotten as not much is heard of most of his songs even when I youtubed to catch a glimpse of some of his songs. The question that came to my mind then is, were the songs of Ani not patented. OR does it mean that musical works after the death of the originator of the music reduce into folklore after a certain period to allow people to pick on them or what ? I only want to be educated oooo ! Are any of the members who constituted Ani Johnson smd the Sisters alive. And what about his good old time friend, Kwaku Duro ? AND does the Church of Peace, old Shalom Greeting members, have a day of remembrance for Ani who made the church become popular in the 1980s. The church buiding was in Kokompe area, and I hope it's still there . The Kumasi Assembly was also near the Airport Roundabout where it started from.
Thank you very much. If you get time, why not do a hit more research and write a book. Just a thought to build an archive of these great people.
The Kokompe church is still around. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary about 5 years ago
1960s is good than today
Good old days
