Another banger 🔥 from Agbaletu ❤. This guy is smart ,exposed, and frank 👌. It is good to have financial independence. Leadership on every facet in Nigeria is terrible. They see the position of leadership as an opportunity to oppress their followers. It is quite unfortunate that most of the oppressed will still be defending their oppressors. I love you, Mr Femi Sanya. Kudos Dele Adeyanju, you are changing history 👏.
@@tettyoseni7089 he's not an eye witness in as much as I would loved to assume, everything he said was we meet, we gather. For example he didn't played in ksa or obey's band
This is the best interview I've seen on Agbaletu since Ayankunle's interview. God bless you Femi Sanya for granting this interview for the preservation of our heritage and exposing evils that men do.
It is very difficult to say that Juju Music has no structure when the likes of KSA had been nominated for the highest award in music twice - the Grammies. KSA has recorded some of his greatest albums on foreign labels such as Mango, Island, MESA and Atlantic records. He once had Martin Messionmer as his foreign manager and later it was Andy Frankel. This is a man who has recorded Yoruba - Juju music with Manu Dibango, Stevie wonder & for Capitol Records for one of the World cups. There is just no way I can agree to a notion that his music is not structured. You may not like him, but to say his music is not structured to me is an insult to perhaps one of the greatest Nigerian musicians whose brought glory to their Motherland.
He is a confusionist...he even refer to KSA music as mediocre...he even rated Shina music more... What is in Shina a music? Shina music that is more of Fuji. music He is a joker.
@@doncomo4737 I actually stopped at about 15 minutes of the interview because he was just mixing up everything. In my entire life, I have never heard that Fuji music is more structured than Juju Music. I was shocked! That is his own opinion anyway. The guy is obviously bittered, no doubt! Whatever happened to him while he was a band member is non of my business as far as the interview is concerned. But rating Fuji higher than Juju is a turn-off for me, ahhh! He's just allowing emotion to control his thoughts. Dele Adeyanju too knows the guy is just blabbing. FUCK!!!
Throughout the interview I was boiling.. even calling KSA music, world acclaimed music ,a mediocre? Bob Aladeniyi period that he was referring to was over when KSA Golden era picked up.. He was short of referring to KSA as a failed musician. He practically referred to one of the most creative musician as a one way musician... What kind of stupid music Shina Peter is playing?His music lacks depth
@@doncomo4737 You can say it again and again. His assertions aren’t founded at all. I have gone on to listen to some of KSA’s recent releases such - Grace of God, Happy Moment and Morning Joy just to mention a few and they all sound different from each other and the arrangement of the music is nothing but class & brilliance. Bitterness is a bad medicine that’s all I can say… did he even listen to Authority, Get Up, Merciful God, The Good Shepherd, Let Them Say or Sweet Banana. How can any of those albums be categorised as ‘unstructured’? KSA to date has the best stage performance of all the Nigerian artistes: Fela is the only one who could rival him.
I hope the producer of agbaletu is learning a lot from this interview. Pls do the needful to your staff. What we don't know is what we don't know, and we know we know , we should be better. May God continue to increase you in wisdom and knowledge. I appreciate your leadership 🙏. Keep striving for the very 👌.
I really enjoyed this interview that I watched it to the end as long as it is. This Femi Sanya is very articulate, intelligent and brave. He's a self made man. Thank Dele Adeyanju sir.
I like this guy with his bold to say everything without fearing any of those muscian leaders who have been badly treated their band boys for a decades. This is factual you hear from those people that have been living in America.
Just hearing now that Mr. Saubana Adekunle a.k.a SABO had passed . I knew him very well in Maryland when I took him and uncle Sam a talented talking drummer into my apartment in Bladensburg, MD as he left Shona Peters band. Indeed a very funny individual, Sabi as he's foundry called, may your soul rest in peace.
I said it in his first interview, shina Peters made him. I watched this interview again, watched King sunny Ade and wizkid, KSA didn't make any attempt to touch wizkid, let alone attempted to put hand in wizkid head. If not that he met SSP, probably, the family would continue in grace to grass position after the demise of their father. He should list number of people he had helped and those he is helping.... 😮
Anybody challenging that juju has structure and opinion on KSA, Obey. Don't worry. The interview has been so entertaining, revealing, self-examination, evidenced-based events, educative, unbiased analysis, and there is forgiving mindset. Thanks for your efforts and maturity AGBALETU and thanks to your guest.
This guy is blunt and resolute in speaking out about the ills in the musical industry. Some band members who had played under those aforementioned bland leaders have reveal such happenings within those musical bands
I didn't see anything wrong from this interview, this man is sincere and out spoken I love him for this, music is collective effort, nothing bad in giving credit for your team, you can be relegated doing so
I will like to elaborate on what the guest speaker said about it is not enough just knowing the chord or the notes. Music is one of the most unique and specialized art. To every melodic line, there is a feeling, emotion, and mood attached. I remember vividly one of my music students playing the popular guitar rhythm on Ade ori okin by K1. He was playing the right notes at the right timing but if you have a developed music ear, you can hear that he does not sound the same with the original guitar sound on the record. So I told him that it is not enough to know just the chords and notes, you must try your best to also assimilate the feelings of the original player. And to those people saying the guest speaker does not know what he is saying, I encounter the same arguments from all these transpose button guys. I kept telling people that come to me to learn music, if you learn through shortcut, your ceiling would be lower compared to players with well developed techniques.
One thing I know that is surprising to me is why all this guys that travel abroad try as much as possible to Americanise britikonise their accent and me I so much appreciate that Nigerinise 🇳🇬 tongue even after over 4decades in the abroad
It is heart wrenching to hear that all of our admired juju musicians treated their band boys inhumanly. Some of them are old now and full of regrets. No credits for their ingenious creativity to the songs/albums that made their leaders popular.
Femi said a lot of what so many other former band members shied away from doing. Bless him for this. I am with him 100% with all he said. As for SSP, I don't know why people keep addressing him as "star". What stardom has he got to be addressed as that? If he asked to be called that himself, it only buttress the shallowness and nastiness of his character as so many people have said. The guy is Nutter. He is a faded and damaged star, if he ever was one. Femi's comments about Juju Band leaders of old and present is also on cue. KSA, CCEO and SSP's music are truly living on past glory. The quality of their music have declined terribly since their original band members moved on. Their newer band members are largely clueless and musically inept. As for Agbaletu, many of your lines of questioning to your guests recently indicates that you are looking to Japa too in the not too distant future. Hmm.
We are learning great lessons from band boys and their leaders in Nigeria starting from Mr Ayanlowo and Wasiu Ayinde.. The spiritual aspect of this is that God uses anything in life to fulfill his written promises and destinies for His creatures. Bori kan basunwon aran igba. Many of the band boys are fulfilling their destinies which if they' have not started with the band it might be different ball game. Nevertheless,God knows better.We thank God some of them are better off today. Some of them have moved abroad and things are getting better for them and their children.Nevertheless , interview like this is good for posterity's sake. We enjoy you Agbeletu.
This guy is bitter because their plans of driving the two top juju artists out of business, and he's not even happy with his own boss, i have watched both sunny and shina Peter's live, there both incomparable, instruments wise, even from their setup, sunny's instruments is four or five times more, when they came to play in my community i personally help Ali iron his clothes, i was close to them and i saw the whole setup, if you have a problem with someone talk straight up with that person, not coming out to demean the work they ve been doing even before you were born, thankfully sunny is still the best even as speak, still anchoring the biggest occasion as far as naija is concerned even at almost eighty, pray you have such grace bitter man.
It’s all down to envy of KSA! Some of these guys are surprised that KSA is still being invited to play at top top parties and is sprayed bundles of different currencies. If KSA had stopped playing and he’s managing a small farm in a village in Ondo state and suffering, none of them would be abusing, accusing and disrespecting him. Can you imagine him saying that Wizkid could have been harmed if KSA had touched his head when he prostrated to him! Seriously? What balderdash??? Also, he said KSA refused to play at an event in the US because he wanted the promoter to pay his balance of $5000 before he played. For God’s sake, do you know who you’re talking about??? So you want KSA to be treated like a hungry, disrespected musician that doesn’t know his rights? What if the concert was a flop and the organisers start to tell KSA stories! After going through hell from Baba Bolarinwa Abioro in the 70s, so you don’t want KSA to wise up since then? Habaaa Mr Femi Sanya! On another note, I have watched many of this Agbaletu interviews and have come to realise that Dele Adeyanju enjoys it when his guests criticise or say bad things about KSA. Did you realise that the only time Femi Sanya said something bad about Chief Commander regarding not giving credit to others, Dele quickly said Femi Sanya cannot substantiate that statement. Also, it seems they’re using KSA’s name to boost the likes and views of Agbaletu. Can you imagine most of the guests always dropping KSA’s name in most of the interviews? Someone who has never worked with KSA must drag his name into the interview to make it attractive to viewers! What’s making it difficult for you to interview KSA? Is he demanding 100million Naira for the interview???
This is a very toxic sentiment by this gentleman, actually laced with some bitter truths. I can't imagine these people he's referring to are half as bad as they are portrayed. It is understandable that subordinates don't actually like their bosses, what's more, it's not a slave and master relationship, there is always an option of leaving the scene when the employer is a beast. Nobody is perfect but doesn't blind one to the an iota of good in others.
perfectly said bro. This guy sees himself as the good musician. H criticized all other good juju musician but called only SSP the best and the only one who was good. Just see the way he criticised KSA style? The same legendary KSA. Please not that i am not a fan of KSA or juju music but when i see good music i will know it. He see his set of SSP as the best that ever worked with him, meanwhile he was not part of those who recorded ACE, SHINAMANIA, DANCING TIME and EXPERIENCE with him. The guy needs to check himself. his arrogance is too much.
I spent the hours listening to Femi to the end. Well, all apprentices suffer same thing but saying Juju music has no structure and your attack on KSA is uncalled for. Now you are holding a green card then think the musical elders are nothing. Yeah?
His story of KSA and Wizkid shows this guy is the most confused, hateful and obnoxious guy. The Barrister this guy talked about was accused of dimming the stars of more than 15 fuji musicians. This guy isnt knowledgeable at all. He is full of bile.
Thanks a million for supporting me with your audio equipment and bass guitar at Baltimore in 2018 through Seye Osan's contact. God bless you real good my dearly beloved Brother Femi Sanya. Ayanbinrin was the MC during the 50th birthday celebration of Mrs Oyelana that evening.
The guy is obviously knowledgeable, but I see a lot of exaggerations and inconsistencies in his comments. The artists may have overdone it, but employees will always think employers are cheating them. It's amazing how he remembered errors of the leaders, but none of the followers.
It seems you are finding it difficult to invite King Sunny Ade for interview.Apart from the impromptu one you had with him in Ilesa.That interview was not full because he has just finished playing.
KSA is an elusive customer. He avoids hard-hitting interviews like a plague. Many JournaIists have tried over and over again without joy. I wonder why.
Agbaletu, you always make these people talk only about KSA and not about Obey. Why? For your information, KSA doesn't want to bring new sounds because of copy media. Pls tell me any musician you know in Nigeria that can still match KSA, including chief commander even with his age. Remember KSA is 78 years old. KSA has been before this guy talking was born.
He has pathological hatred for KSA..he never said even one kind word about him..he distorted lots of facts....he a comparing KSA music to Shina s music
Dont let an ingrate's 15 minutes fame on the internet change your perception about someone you idolize. Be careful, this same animals can make you hate your parents. Trust me.
With due respect I can play something different to Shina's "sweetie baby baby". It is because you have the Shina's beat in your head that you think nothing else can go. While the interview is good, 3 things stood out in the midst of the positives things you were trying to project: 1. Inability to differentiate btw structured and unstructured music, you couldn't even give a clear example. Juju is even more organized than Fuji in my opinion. When you have time (or Dele should ask you in the next interview) do the following: a. Define structured and unstructured music. b. Give different examples of each. 2. It seems you dislike KSA, though I agree with you that his recent live plays are nothing to right home about. And his sounds hasn't improved, infact it has degenerated, badly regressed just like Awe said. Could be old age. I still remember his Loud in Lagos performance in '96 and also the one he did for Stars Beer (NB) around that time, how he was able to change the "Iyin to didereni, la nfi kole for ninu igbo and infused it with an Igbo beat. He was always and easily the star of any concert. Yes Sunny has fell off just like Shina. Shina's life is even drier than Sunny's. 3. You are very biased when it comes to Shina. Shina only has 3 albums (Ace, Shinamania and Experience. Dancing time pushed to join those three but it didn't meet up), every other so-called albums didn't make it. And when it comes to stage or concert performance when at their peak, Shina was not even good enough to clean Sunny's shoes. Also Shina came with fast beat in 89 that the youths could relate to, and this attracted many 419s like Ade Bendel, Fred etc and also richman children like Femi Otedola, Segun Awolowo, Tunde Folawiyo and others. Display of currency especially by the 419s and their show attitude would attract people to Shina's shows, it was more about the 419s diaplay than Shina's. After 92 or 93 (after experience sha), there was nothing for Shina again, his sound became stale. But Sunny still came up with appreciation and many other singles that were hits. All of them should either resign or bring in young guys to give them the new tunes now, play what people want to hear and adjust their sounds. Else they should pack up. Ati KSA oo, ati Shina oo, their live play are unplesantly boring now, same sound, nothing new, just like how Dele Taiwo (stray bullet) is awfully stale. Still listen to Obey though (even KSA was my favourite). Obey still build his music gradually increasing the tempo in a smooth Miliki way. While KSA turned himself to Baba Sala on stage, well Baba Sala was his boss anyway. While Shina would just be screaming into the mic repeating same thing over and over again.
The guy said lots of rubbish,at a time he was even contradicting himself..he sounded like he has a kind of hatred for KSA. KSA no doubt now has lost that touch due to old age..the man has nothing to prove again to anyone... But this guy even rated Shina music over KSA music.. Who is Shina when sunny was still sunny... even the arrangement of guitars in music.. I really regret watching such a perverted interview. He deliberately ignored obey...he feasted on KSA especially. KSA is an institution can he say the same of his boss Shina. He was even rating Fuji higher,he s a confusionist
Infact you nailed it, he is so biased. Comparing KSA musically to Shina is even an insult. Expecting KSA to maintain his standards for over 50 years is really pathetic, I hope he can stay relevant for as long as KSA has. His opinion is tainted with hate and bias
Im not on the same page with your guest today on almost all what he said. It's like offering what he doesn't have, even from the beginning. How can someone say that juju doesn't have a structure but fuji has? Studying music, according to him, doesn't say that he's knowledgeable of the whole thing he's saying and for someone to keep saying everybody is bad, he too need to examine himself.
He himself cannot score music. He just wants to rant trash. He comes to shows and forgets the bass line. SO who is he to talk down on others that have been very successful over the decades???
You completely got it wrong by saying JuJu music has no structure. Obey and omo Aladeniyi's juju style were well arranged right from day one in the 60's. The quality of their music is second to none. Obey's Inter reformers band men were fantastic. Sunday Adeniyi took it to a higher level. Please correct your speech. You can insult me here but I stand corrected. ❤
@@delesenbanjo8437 Don't mind the man..he is confusing structure with original. He claimed Fuji has a structure because he is original..juju has no structure because he adapted f high life music. How does that make sense? He is a confusionist
You are the one who got it wrong. To me, you like the way Obey, Sunny ade and others using their band boys and making that all money for themseves, guess what? God is coming out to get all these stupid bad musician leaders
This guy knows music but doesn't talk like it, just being bitter for real 😭 you need to understand the business aspect of music 😞 come on bro,where is your own music today?
What a powerful interview, but the statement ‘Fuji music is more structured than Juju Music’…. Ahhh, I respectfully disagreed sir. I read music small ooo. Juju music of Obey ,KSA and the likes in the 70s,80s and 90s fulfilled the real definition of what music structured should be while Fuji music almost trying to, even before SSP emerged.
I am not really sure KSA intentionally limited people for selfish reasons. As a band leader, he probably wants his music to express what he feels. He wants it to sound like Sunny Ade's music, melodious, less complicated yet soothing - 80s. I may be wrong, but that is what I think. While, I can listen to this egbon over and over. I think we need to always remember that these guys were young, even as band leaders and also lacked proper mentorship. Some of them were even pioneers. Unfortunately, they can neither turn back the hands of time nor make a complete amend of all their wrongdoings. They are probably wiser now with age, some of them might need some restitution. In as much as these interviews are educative. Let's also continue to forgive and spread love. Peace.
A word of advice for Agbaletu. It's okay to release quality interviews once a week or 2 weeks. You don't need to be posting interviews that will undermine the quality of your channel. I used to look up to your next posting, but not anymore since you've been posting people that don't have anything worthy to learn from.
You don’t have to watch his show, that’s the problem with people today, someone experienced a terrible time at work with his boss and he can’t express himself. Only in Nigeria. Thats why the country is backward
This guy is very good instrumentalist. His analysis are super but he lacked perspectives. Despite their knowledge of instruments like guitar, where are the two bobs. Bob Aladeniyi or Bob Ohiri in music circle today. Juju is not about instruments majorly. It is about good composition and praise singing. Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga, Adeleke invited you to play at their occasions with Onas and big wigs in the society. What is their business with the instrumentalist. They want the band leader to SING and entertain their guest with good compositions and praise their guest and have nice time. Instruments may be key in Afro beat of Fela and the current pop stars. They don't sing for social owanbe big men. They sing for the youths and students. They don't praise any body. Without the Bobs, Sunny is still number 1 and plays for who matters in the society. Till tomorrow Sunny is the main man. He is deceiving the young juju musicians. If they want to be relevant they must improve their composition on current affairs and praise singing at the social parties. Nobody listens to instruments in big time social parties. How can any sensible person calk Sunny as Awadakerikeri. This is uncharitable and irresponsible. Where is even Shina Peters today. Is he still relevant. How many instruments are they playing in Fuji. The Fuji music is taking over from Juju. Without Sunny and Obey, juju is going. Where are the young juju musicians.. This guy will mislead then and nobody will hear them. Praise singing and beautiful compositions are key to Juju and Fuji. Pop is instruments. If juju musicians concentrate on instruments, they are gone musically. The big boys , the money bags want to hear "anthem" for them and not instruments. The moderator, what problem do you have with KSA. You propped them to denigrate KSA. Even those who do not play with him. It's bad. I am out of your listener. You are biased. I am a lawyer and fanatical fan of KSA for life. At his age KSA is still waxing stronger musically while those you are praising are retrogressing including SSP. Obey are Sunny have crossed the line nobody can pull them down. It's too late for that. Bring people who can encourage young musicians and not to be rebellion. They won't make progress. We have other moderators. They don't conduct Interview to denigrate musicians. Where is SSP now. With the instruments, where is the composition to fit in into owmabe party? I wish you best of luck. Please give kudos to Sunny and Obey and appreciate their contributions instead of denigrating them.From the 60s to 2024, KSA is waxing stronger. Check You Tube and see that KSA plays for Adenugas, Dangote, Otedolas, Obasanjos, Mimikos and even governments. Shina came briefly and ended it. A flash in the pan. Change your approach and protect the heritage of KSA. For life. KSA is the man. I ask again. Where is Bob Aladeniyi with his skills on instruments? Where is Bob Ohiri with his skills on instruments. Where is SSP with his skills on instruments. This man did not give KSA for Ekilo Fomode. Synchro System and other hits. He got nominated for Grammy. What is this man talking about. Bring people who can talk in the positive development in music particularly Juju.
Since Fela's death, Sunny Ade has no more inspiration. He was forced to change his music anyway. “Syncrosysteme” by Sunny Ade is a copy of “Open and Close” by Fela Kuti. As well as "Kale Sanwa Jowuro Lo" by Sunny Ade a copy of "Coffin For Head of State" by Fela and many other songs of Sunny Ade music which are only copies of Fela. Fela was the greatest musician Africa has known.
You might as well say Let them say, Merciful God, Conscience, Suprise, Triumph, Jealousy, The Good Shepard, The Child, Sweet Banana, Authority and many more that I can't remember are Fela's songs. Nonsense.
@@hapexconsulting3789 Every time we talk about Sunny Ade or Ebenezer Obey, fanaticism manifests itself. I know how to listen to rhythms and songs. In the case of Fela and Sunny, I'm more interested in the rhythm and not the song. You can put any song on a beat. Sunny copied Fela's music and it cannot be otherwise since he recruited Fela's musicians.
go and see your doctor please. You have started smoking your thing again! You cant even articulate your views. What are they saying and what you saying.
It is common amongst Nigerian musician leaders to be slapping their band boys, if they try that such thing in America, they will end up in prison for assault.
Only one statement that mr. Femi made that i will totally disagreed with him was when he said, when the band made a million naira and they did not taken anything home, that was a plain lies.
This guy is blabbing , how can you say obey and ksa music doesn't have structure... oga end this interview and let mr femi take the next available flight to his base to meet his beautiful wife and children
I BLAME ALL THE BAND BOYS BECAUSE YOU GUYS DIDN'T SPEAK UP. BAND LEADERS ARE NOT GOD, YOU TELL HIM WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING THROUGH AT LEAST YOU DO MEETINGS WITH HIM. SPEAK UP SPEAK UP BUT MOST OF YOU GUYS DOESN'T WANT TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GO ON TOUR AND RUN AWAY.
Dele, you have to be careful when bringing these types of people to your programme. He comes across as a flip flopper. And a bitter individual, we did not say don't criticise, but you have to be constructive. We are talking about the great legends here for God sake. KSA AND BABA OBEY, not been structured, common men. Ti ija ba wanbe ka pari e. He praise them and fault them at the same time. He comes across as novice, arrogant young man. How did he got to USA i in the first instance?
Thank you sir. You nailed it. He jumped ship illegally and here he is spewing rubbish and forming saint. KSA will never grant AGBALETU any interview, because the disgruntled and self-entitled former band boys have turned his thread into mere beer parlour discussions.
I am weeping for mans inhumanity to man. All these people are wicked. No wonder their children had never made it. God will judge them in Jesus name. Greediness per excellence.
I will neither doubt nor question the guest's opinions or experiences about the foremost Juju and Fuji music band leaders. However, the question should be asked: "If SSP was so good musically, why hasn't he lasted over the decades?" He was playing the guitar since the 60's and singing since the early 80's, yet his best period was between Ace and Experience (four years, '89-'92). KSA and CCEO have a more lasting legacy that SSP never matched. Even the Admiral was in a class of his own and was well respected, too. Also, when it comes to fetishism/confraternity, there is hardly any Nigerian musician who hasn't had a taste of either. Further, music evolves with the passage of time, and a good musician must evolve. I don't see how the changes over the years in KSA's music dented his legacy. For me, it got even better.
Where were this guy's parents when I.K Dairo - the pioneer of Juju music played for Queen Elizabeth II when she visited Nigeria and she made him a Member of the British Empire (MBE), the first African musician to receive this honor? I'm sure he was a little boy then but his parents should have educated him.
Agbaletu be very careful of who you bring to demean people!! All this statement by this guy I'd unacceptable and totally wrong to assassinate the character of our old gurus!!!
Your attempt at rubbishing the talents and hardwork of our legends boomeranged. You only succeeded in rubbishing yourself. You are full of bitterness and disrespect, no one knows you like Sunny and Obey. It's okay to criticize them for not treating their band members well, but trying to rubbish their talents, you failed woefully.
No they are not selfish. They are not perfect neither. It is just this guy that's missed the road. He is not even a topnotch musician in Nigeria. He is just hustling for relevance.
Pls Dele, don't follow this guy laugh,because it's not funny ridiculing our legendary, multi award winning babas, not only in Nigeria but all over the world. We all know about not being them not being well paid, but saying they are not structured is too hash. Fuji over juju music common man.. This guy just wants to be popular, i like that Wasiu guy. What this guy is saying about wizkid and Fela, is ridiculous. Dele we just celebrated "E kilo fomo ode" recently and many more of our baba music. I will advise you to infact bring this rubbish down ASAP for your own interest Dele because this interview stinks.
my 2 pennies worth as Oyinbo would say....now i understand why these artist like sunny Ade ebenezer obey were so consistent, 1st the band members with fresh ideas,. then cooked up by the lets say more charismatic in quote band leaders.Then another thing with this taking band members abroad is just a scam by the band leaders to fleece the mostly uneducated band boys with no contract and hollow promises....why would they stay if they collected good money ? why will they stay in a foreign land and wash dishes when theres dollars to be made The band leaders know what they are doing.NO CONTRACT NO POWER
Another banger 🔥 from Agbaletu ❤. This guy is smart ,exposed, and frank 👌. It is good to have financial independence. Leadership on every facet in Nigeria is terrible. They see the position of leadership as an opportunity to oppress their followers. It is quite unfortunate that most of the oppressed will still be defending their oppressors. I love you, Mr Femi Sanya.
Kudos Dele Adeyanju, you are changing history 👏.
Please don’t take it down .This is what we need in Nigeria, people like these are rare and some of us will chest it to say the truth .
@@tettyoseni7089 he's not an eye witness in as much as I would loved to assume, everything he said was we meet, we gather. For example he didn't played in ksa or obey's band
This is the best interview I've seen on Agbaletu since Ayankunle's interview.
God bless you Femi Sanya for granting this interview for the preservation of our heritage and exposing evils that men do.
It is very difficult to say that Juju Music has no structure when the likes of KSA had been nominated for the highest award in music twice - the Grammies.
KSA has recorded some of his greatest albums on foreign labels such as Mango, Island, MESA and Atlantic records. He once had Martin Messionmer as his foreign manager and later it was Andy Frankel.
This is a man who has recorded Yoruba - Juju music with Manu Dibango, Stevie wonder & for Capitol Records for one of the World cups. There is just no way I can agree to a notion that his music is not structured. You may not like him, but to say his music is not structured to me is an insult to perhaps one of the greatest Nigerian musicians whose brought glory to their Motherland.
He is a confusionist...he even refer to KSA music as mediocre...he even rated Shina music more...
What is in Shina a music? Shina music that is more of Fuji.
music
He is a joker.
@@doncomo4737 I actually stopped at about 15 minutes of the interview because he was just mixing up everything. In my entire life, I have never heard that Fuji music is more structured than Juju Music. I was shocked! That is his own opinion anyway. The guy is obviously bittered, no doubt! Whatever happened to him while he was a band member is non of my business as far as the interview is concerned. But rating Fuji higher than Juju is a turn-off for me, ahhh! He's just allowing emotion to control his thoughts. Dele Adeyanju too knows the guy is just blabbing. FUCK!!!
@@olaosebikanajidagba489Well said Bro✊
Throughout the interview I was boiling.. even calling KSA music, world acclaimed music ,a mediocre?
Bob Aladeniyi period that he was referring to was over when KSA Golden era picked up..
He was short of referring to KSA as a failed musician.
He practically referred to one of the most creative musician as a one way musician...
What kind of stupid music Shina Peter is playing?His music lacks depth
@@doncomo4737 You can say it again and again. His assertions aren’t founded at all. I have gone on to listen to some of KSA’s recent releases such - Grace of God, Happy Moment and Morning Joy just to mention a few and they all sound different from each other and the arrangement of the music is nothing but class & brilliance.
Bitterness is a bad medicine that’s all I can say… did he even listen to Authority, Get Up, Merciful God, The Good Shepherd, Let Them Say or Sweet Banana. How can any of those albums be categorised as ‘unstructured’?
KSA to date has the best stage performance of all the Nigerian artistes: Fela is the only one who could rival him.
I hope the producer of agbaletu is learning a lot from this interview. Pls do the needful to your staff. What we don't know is what we don't know, and we know we know , we should be better. May God continue to increase you in wisdom and knowledge. I appreciate your leadership 🙏. Keep striving for the very 👌.
We waiting to hear him also how much is paying d staff, and d houses he built for them.
Wao,a fantastic,factual,in-insider and no-bared revelations!I love this guy.These leaders,even political, are greedy and narcissistic!!
Thanks for another chart buster interview. It was highly revealing, Mr. Femi Sanya didn't hold back, and i give him kudos for that.
I like this guy so much.
He is so learned.
He knows what's talking about.
I like his confidence. I wish to could meet him
I
I.
You can meet him. You only need to ask Agbaletu to help facilitate a link up.
Amazing
I really enjoyed this interview that I watched it to the end as long as it is. This Femi Sanya is very articulate, intelligent and brave. He's a self made man. Thank Dele Adeyanju sir.
I like this guy with his bold to say everything without fearing any of those muscian leaders who have been badly treated their band boys for a decades. This is factual you hear from those people that have been living in America.
Just hearing now that Mr. Saubana Adekunle a.k.a SABO had passed .
I knew him very well in Maryland when I took him and uncle Sam a talented talking drummer into my apartment in Bladensburg, MD as he left Shona Peters band.
Indeed a very funny individual, Sabi as he's foundry called, may your soul rest in peace.
Saubana was a funny and nice guy. May his soul Rest In Peace
Appreciate you sharing this information and sharing your experience which is very inspiring. Thanks
Nice guy. Very articulate. Intelligent too. He shouldn't be misunderstood. He is advocating for a change for the sake of the upcoming band members.
What is he advocating? How many people has he helped musically?
Great guy and very articulate in all his analysis. Great job
You are dumb!@@damiolajide
This is the best interview ever... werey ni all Africans leader they are all the same.. God bless u brother❤
This guys musical/ instrumental kills are very good, I can relate to it as a music scholar. Well done, Dele 👏
Am crying listening to this interview. To say KSA AND BABA OBEY HAS NO STRUCTURE IS U BELIEVABLE.
He's an asshole
The guy was talking rubbish
I said it in his first interview, shina Peters made him. I watched this interview again, watched King sunny Ade and wizkid, KSA didn't make any attempt to touch wizkid, let alone attempted to put hand in wizkid head. If not that he met SSP, probably, the family would continue in grace to grass position after the demise of their father.
He should list number of people he had helped and those he is helping.... 😮
Gratitude is an attitude! I like your submission
Anybody challenging that juju has structure and opinion on KSA, Obey. Don't worry. The interview has been so entertaining, revealing, self-examination, evidenced-based events, educative, unbiased analysis, and there is forgiving mindset. Thanks for your efforts and maturity AGBALETU and thanks to your guest.
Good job
This guy is blunt and resolute in speaking out about the ills in the musical industry. Some band members who had played under those aforementioned bland leaders have reveal such happenings within those musical bands
BIG TRUTH !! !!! !! I LOVE THIS MAN
I didn't see anything wrong from this interview, this man is sincere and out spoken I love him for this, music is collective effort, nothing bad in giving credit for your team, you can be relegated doing so
I will like to elaborate on what the guest speaker said about it is not enough just knowing the chord or the notes. Music is one of the most unique and specialized art. To every melodic line, there is a feeling, emotion, and mood attached. I remember vividly one of my music students playing the popular guitar rhythm on Ade ori okin by K1. He was playing the right notes at the right timing but if you have a developed music ear, you can hear that he does not sound the same with the original guitar sound on the record. So I told him that it is not enough to know just the chords and notes, you must try your best to also assimilate the feelings of the original player. And to those people saying the guest speaker does not know what he is saying, I encounter the same arguments from all these transpose button guys. I kept telling people that come to me to learn music, if you learn through shortcut, your ceiling would be lower compared to players with well developed techniques.
This is a terrible testimony of the respected leaders they are callous and cursed
Go and recruit students to your music school
@@olumiluaebenezer2282He is Mr perfect, who knows everything. He doesn't even fit into KSA band at all.
I love this guy, isn't far from the truth, he's not taking side at all.
A very lovely heart-to-heart talk. Happy birthday DA Agbalẹtu..I enjoyed from start to finish, hoping it won't end 🎉
One thing I know that is surprising to me is why all this guys that travel abroad try as much as possible to Americanise britikonise their accent and me I so much appreciate that Nigerinise 🇳🇬 tongue even after over 4decades in the abroad
Just like me, I prefer my nigerinise tongue even when i have lived here for more than 2 decades
please facilitate the reconciliation process of Sir Shina peters with his former band members. Love your shows, very education.
Too late…
Waste of time. No point. Too much water has gone under the bridge. Let leave Shina to carry his own sword.
It is heart wrenching to hear that all of our admired juju musicians treated their band boys inhumanly. Some of them are old now and full of regrets. No credits for their ingenious creativity to the songs/albums that made their leaders popular.
Bro, FEMI SANYA has said it all. Whether you like it or not, he has the facts about these band leaders.
Femi said a lot of what so many other former band members shied away from doing. Bless him for this. I am with him 100% with all he said. As for SSP, I don't know why people keep addressing him as "star". What stardom has he got to be addressed as that? If he asked to be called that himself, it only buttress the shallowness and nastiness of his character as so many people have said. The guy is Nutter. He is a faded and damaged star, if he ever was one. Femi's comments about Juju Band leaders of old and present is also on cue. KSA, CCEO and SSP's music are truly living on past glory. The quality of their music have declined terribly since their original band members moved on. Their newer band members are largely clueless and musically inept. As for Agbaletu, many of your lines of questioning to your guests recently indicates that you are looking to Japa too in the not too distant future. Hmm.
We are learning great lessons from band boys and their leaders in Nigeria starting from Mr Ayanlowo and Wasiu Ayinde..
The spiritual aspect of this is that God uses anything in life to fulfill his written promises and destinies for His creatures.
Bori kan basunwon aran igba.
Many of the band boys are fulfilling their destinies which if they' have not started with the band it might be different ball game.
Nevertheless,God knows better.We thank God some of them are better off today.
Some of them have moved abroad and things are getting better for them and their children.Nevertheless , interview like this is good for posterity's sake.
We enjoy you Agbeletu.
What this guy is saying is 97% correct 💯. The other 3% is not intentionally wrong.
some people just comment for comment sake. Each person has his own views. try to understand his point of view
This guy is bitter because their plans of driving the two top juju artists out of business, and he's not even happy with his own boss, i have watched both sunny and shina Peter's live, there both incomparable, instruments wise, even from their setup, sunny's instruments is four or five times more, when they came to play in my community i personally help Ali iron his clothes, i was close to them and i saw the whole setup, if you have a problem with someone talk straight up with that person, not coming out to demean the work they ve been doing even before you were born, thankfully sunny is still the best even as speak, still anchoring the biggest occasion as far as naija is concerned even at almost eighty, pray you have such grace bitter man.
Fantastic interview, the only mistake I see here is saying Juju music doesn't have structure. Asides that, I love every part of the interview.
Thank you my brother!
C - Diminished got me
This Guy is loaded with wisdom
He knows all the techniques of music 🎉
It’s all down to envy of KSA! Some of these guys are surprised that KSA is still being invited to play at top top parties and is sprayed bundles of different currencies. If KSA had stopped playing and he’s managing a small farm in a village in Ondo state and suffering, none of them would be abusing, accusing and disrespecting him. Can you imagine him saying that Wizkid could have been harmed if KSA had touched his head when he prostrated to him! Seriously? What balderdash??? Also, he said KSA refused to play at an event in the US because he wanted the promoter to pay his balance of $5000 before he played. For God’s sake, do you know who you’re talking about??? So you want KSA to be treated like a hungry, disrespected musician that doesn’t know his rights? What if the concert was a flop and the organisers start to tell KSA stories! After going through hell from Baba Bolarinwa Abioro
in the 70s, so you don’t want KSA to wise up since then? Habaaa Mr Femi Sanya!
On another note, I have watched many of this Agbaletu interviews and have come to realise that Dele Adeyanju enjoys it when his guests criticise or say bad things about KSA. Did you realise that the only time Femi Sanya said something bad about Chief Commander regarding not giving credit to others, Dele quickly said Femi Sanya cannot substantiate that statement.
Also, it seems they’re using KSA’s name to boost the likes and views of Agbaletu. Can you imagine most of the guests always dropping KSA’s name in most of the interviews? Someone who has never worked with KSA must drag his name into the interview to make it attractive to viewers!
What’s making it difficult for you to interview KSA? Is he demanding 100million Naira for the interview???
Àgbàlálẹ́tu don't hide his hatred for KSA.. Let him continue
@@patricksmart-zi3de I hope he gets over his envy of KSA, that’s what ruined NIGBATI, he wants to suffer the same fate
This is a very toxic sentiment by this gentleman, actually laced with some bitter truths.
I can't imagine these people he's referring to are half as bad as they are portrayed. It is understandable that subordinates don't actually like their bosses, what's more, it's not a slave and master relationship, there is always an option of leaving the scene when the employer is a beast. Nobody is perfect but doesn't blind one to the an iota of good in others.
perfectly said bro. This guy sees himself as the good musician. H criticized all other good juju musician but called only SSP the best and the only one who was good. Just see the way he criticised KSA style? The same legendary KSA. Please not that i am not a fan of KSA or juju music but when i see good music i will know it. He see his set of SSP as the best that ever worked with him, meanwhile he was not part of those who recorded ACE, SHINAMANIA, DANCING TIME and EXPERIENCE with him. The guy needs to check himself. his arrogance is too much.
@@olayinka223 Drugs is readily available in America. You know, he may be on drugs considering the rubbish he has been spewing.
I enjoyed this interview, very educative.
I love this guy for his honesty.
So sadly true that he said NIGERIA IS A MESS
I spent the hours listening to Femi to the end. Well, all apprentices suffer same thing but saying Juju music has no structure and your attack on KSA is uncalled for. Now you are holding a green card then think the musical elders are nothing. Yeah?
This guy is revealing top secret.
It's a fact
He can say that because he advance himself if he still struggling just like others he won't be saying all that
His story of KSA and Wizkid shows this guy is the most confused, hateful and obnoxious guy. The Barrister this guy talked about was accused of dimming the stars of more than 15 fuji musicians. This guy isnt knowledgeable at all. He is full of bile.
The comment about kSA and Whizkid is unfortunate! I wonder why anyone would think like that. Toxic and shows the lack of depth!
Thanks a million for supporting me with your audio equipment and bass guitar at Baltimore in 2018 through Seye Osan's contact. God bless you real good my dearly beloved Brother Femi Sanya. Ayanbinrin was the MC during the 50th birthday celebration of Mrs Oyelana that evening.
You are welcome sir
Sadly what he's saying are all facts.
Bitter is true, some people hate to hear the truth
In your opinion!
The guy is obviously knowledgeable, but I see a lot of exaggerations and inconsistencies in his comments. The artists may have overdone it, but employees will always think employers are cheating them.
It's amazing how he remembered errors of the leaders, but none of the followers.
His saying bitter truth u people don’t like to hear, let’s stand for truth
It seems you are finding it difficult to invite King Sunny Ade for interview.Apart from the impromptu one you had with him in Ilesa.That interview was not full because he has just finished playing.
KSA is an elusive customer. He avoids hard-hitting interviews like a plague. Many JournaIists have tried over and over again without joy. I wonder why.
ADE BENDEL AND OTHERS WERE 419'S THEN SO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT. ADE BENDEL IS NOW DOING UBER
Agbaletu, you always make these people talk only about KSA and not about Obey. Why?
For your information, KSA doesn't want to bring new sounds because of copy media.
Pls tell me any musician you know in Nigeria that can still match KSA, including chief commander even with his age.
Remember KSA is 78 years old.
KSA has been before this guy talking was born.
He has pathological hatred for KSA..he never said even one kind word about him..he distorted lots of facts....he a comparing KSA music to Shina s music
We need to ask this braggart what he has achieved here in the US.
Baba Obey is a senior man to Sunny in music.
In age not in accomplishments
This is another Banger after AYANKUNLE INTERVIEW...The truth sayer
Mr Femi sanya's last interview really changed my mindset about music and SSP cos I used to idolize SSP.
Dont let an ingrate's 15 minutes fame on the internet change your perception about someone you idolize. Be careful, this same animals can make you hate your parents. Trust me.
Adeyanju is trying to make this guy insult ksa .fools
With due respect I can play something different to Shina's "sweetie baby baby". It is because you have the Shina's beat in your head that you think nothing else can go. While the interview is good, 3 things stood out in the midst of the positives things you were trying to project:
1. Inability to differentiate btw structured and unstructured music, you couldn't even give a clear example. Juju is even more organized than Fuji in my opinion. When you have time (or Dele should ask you in the next interview) do the following:
a. Define structured and unstructured music.
b. Give different examples of each.
2. It seems you dislike KSA, though I agree with you that his recent live plays are nothing to right home about. And his sounds hasn't improved, infact it has degenerated, badly regressed just like Awe said. Could be old age. I still remember his Loud in Lagos performance in '96 and also the one he did for Stars Beer (NB) around that time, how he was able to change the "Iyin to didereni, la nfi kole for ninu igbo and infused it with an Igbo beat. He was always and easily the star of any concert. Yes Sunny has fell off just like Shina. Shina's life is even drier than Sunny's.
3. You are very biased when it comes to Shina. Shina only has 3 albums (Ace, Shinamania and Experience. Dancing time pushed to join those three but it didn't meet up), every other so-called albums didn't make it. And when it comes to stage or concert performance when at their peak, Shina was not even good enough to clean Sunny's shoes. Also Shina came with fast beat in 89 that the youths could relate to, and this attracted many 419s like Ade Bendel, Fred etc and also richman children like Femi Otedola, Segun Awolowo, Tunde Folawiyo and others. Display of currency especially by the 419s and their show attitude would attract people to Shina's shows, it was more about the 419s diaplay than Shina's. After 92 or 93 (after experience sha), there was nothing for Shina again, his sound became stale. But Sunny still came up with appreciation and many other singles that were hits.
All of them should either resign or bring in young guys to give them the new tunes now, play what people want to hear and adjust their sounds. Else they should pack up. Ati KSA oo, ati Shina oo, their live play are unplesantly boring now, same sound, nothing new, just like how Dele Taiwo (stray bullet) is awfully stale. Still listen to Obey though (even KSA was my favourite). Obey still build his music gradually increasing the tempo in a smooth Miliki way. While KSA turned himself to Baba Sala on stage, well Baba Sala was his boss anyway. While Shina would just be screaming into the mic repeating same thing over and over again.
The guy said lots of rubbish,at a time he was even contradicting himself..he sounded like he has a kind of hatred for KSA.
KSA no doubt now has lost that touch due to old age..the man has nothing to prove again to anyone...
But this guy even rated Shina music over KSA music..
Who is Shina when sunny was still sunny... even the arrangement of guitars in music..
I really regret watching such a perverted interview.
He deliberately ignored obey...he feasted on KSA especially.
KSA is an institution can he say the same of his boss Shina.
He was even rating Fuji higher,he s a confusionist
Infact you nailed it, he is so biased. Comparing KSA musically to Shina is even an insult. Expecting KSA to maintain his standards for over 50 years is really pathetic, I hope he can stay relevant for as long as KSA has. His opinion is tainted with hate and bias
What KSA achieved in music, if u achieved 1 % of it , you will be known worldwide.
The same way he's abusing KSA in his first interview few months now.. Stupid guy
Go and get wisdom, no matter what it cost. You need it.
The man is just talking nonsense.
😅😅😅 you think like Peter Obi followers
This guy is very intelligent I love him
No matter your view on KSA he remains Oba Orin. KSA KO LE GBE RARA O
Truth is better, Sunny ade and Ebenezer Obey are cheated their band boys. They are selfish, stingy and wicked.
Nah ! He missed it. He’s opinions towards juju are baseless
I really enjoy ur interview nice one
Im not on the same page with your guest today on almost all what he said. It's like offering what he doesn't have, even from the beginning. How can someone say that juju doesn't have a structure but fuji has? Studying music, according to him, doesn't say that he's knowledgeable of the whole thing he's saying and for someone to keep saying everybody is bad, he too need to examine himself.
He s confused
Total rubbish … how can this man say juju has no structure … lol he said he can score music but he is saying absolute rubbish. Am so disappointed
He himself cannot score music. He just wants to rant trash. He comes to shows and forgets the bass line. SO who is he to talk down on others that have been very successful over the decades???
You completely got it wrong by saying JuJu music has no structure. Obey and omo Aladeniyi's juju style were well arranged right from day one in the 60's. The quality of their music is second to none. Obey's Inter reformers band men were fantastic. Sunday Adeniyi took it to a higher level. Please correct your speech. You can insult me here but I stand corrected. ❤
@@delesenbanjo8437 Don't mind the man..he is confusing structure with original.
He claimed Fuji has a structure because he is original..juju has no structure because he adapted f high life music.
How does that make sense?
He is a confusionist
@@doncomo4737 It makes sense to people who understand the science and technicalities of music.
Did you read music why argue over nothing
You are the one who got it wrong. To me, you like the way Obey, Sunny ade and others using their band boys and making that all money for themseves, guess what? God is coming out to get all these stupid bad musician leaders
He is just so annoying with his ignorance
Good guy that loves the younger ones..... Things need to change in Nigeria as a whole.
This guy knows music but doesn't talk like it, just being bitter for real 😭 you need to understand the business aspect of music 😞 come on bro,where is your own music today?
They will never make their music but will keep on criticizing their former bosses and village people except themselves.
What a powerful interview, but the statement ‘Fuji music is more structured than Juju Music’…. Ahhh, I respectfully disagreed sir. I read music small ooo. Juju music of Obey ,KSA and the likes in the 70s,80s and 90s fulfilled the real definition of what music structured should be while Fuji music almost trying to, even before SSP emerged.
I really enjoyed the interview
I am not really sure KSA intentionally limited people for selfish reasons. As a band leader, he probably wants his music to express what he feels. He wants it to sound like Sunny Ade's music, melodious, less complicated yet soothing - 80s. I may be wrong, but that is what I think.
While, I can listen to this egbon over and over. I think we need to always remember that these guys were young, even as band leaders and also lacked proper mentorship. Some of them were even pioneers. Unfortunately, they can neither turn back the hands of time nor make a complete amend of all their wrongdoings. They are probably wiser now with age, some of them might need some restitution.
In as much as these interviews are educative. Let's also continue to forgive and spread love.
Peace.
A word of advice for Agbaletu. It's okay to release quality interviews once a week or 2 weeks. You don't need to be posting interviews that will undermine the quality of your channel. I used to look up to your next posting, but not anymore since you've been posting people that don't have anything worthy to learn from.
You don’t have to watch his show, that’s the problem with people today, someone experienced a terrible time at work with his boss and he can’t express himself. Only in Nigeria. Thats why the country is backward
He doesn't know anything about juju Music
This guy is very good instrumentalist. His analysis are super but he lacked perspectives. Despite their knowledge of instruments like guitar, where are the two bobs. Bob Aladeniyi or Bob Ohiri in music circle today. Juju is not about instruments majorly. It is about good composition and praise singing. Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga, Adeleke invited you to play at their occasions with Onas and big wigs in the society. What is their business with the instrumentalist. They want the band leader to SING and entertain their guest with good compositions and praise their guest and have nice time. Instruments may be key in Afro beat of Fela and the current pop stars. They don't sing for social owanbe big men. They sing for the youths and students. They don't praise any body. Without the Bobs, Sunny is still number 1 and plays for who matters in the society. Till tomorrow Sunny is the main man. He is deceiving the young juju musicians. If they want to be relevant they must improve their composition on current affairs and praise singing at the social parties. Nobody listens to instruments in big time social parties. How can any sensible person calk Sunny as Awadakerikeri. This is uncharitable and irresponsible. Where is even Shina Peters today. Is he still relevant. How many instruments are they playing in Fuji. The Fuji music is taking over from Juju. Without Sunny and Obey, juju is going. Where are the young juju musicians.. This guy will mislead then and nobody will hear them. Praise singing and beautiful compositions are key to Juju and Fuji. Pop is instruments. If juju musicians concentrate on instruments, they are gone musically. The big boys , the money bags want to hear "anthem" for them and not instruments. The moderator, what problem do you have with KSA. You propped them to denigrate KSA. Even those who do not play with him. It's bad. I am out of your listener. You are biased. I am a lawyer and fanatical fan of KSA for life. At his age KSA is still waxing stronger musically while those you are praising are retrogressing including SSP. Obey are Sunny have crossed the line nobody can pull them down. It's too late for that. Bring people who can encourage young musicians and not to be rebellion. They won't make progress. We have other moderators. They don't conduct Interview to denigrate musicians. Where is SSP now. With the instruments, where is the composition to fit in into owmabe party? I wish you best of luck. Please give kudos to Sunny and Obey and appreciate their contributions instead of denigrating them.From the 60s to 2024, KSA is waxing stronger. Check You Tube and see that KSA plays for Adenugas, Dangote, Otedolas, Obasanjos, Mimikos and even governments. Shina came briefly and ended it. A flash in the pan. Change your approach and protect the heritage of KSA. For life. KSA is the man. I ask again. Where is Bob Aladeniyi with his skills on instruments? Where is Bob Ohiri with his skills on instruments. Where is SSP with his skills on instruments. This man did not give KSA for Ekilo Fomode. Synchro System and other hits. He got nominated for Grammy. What is this man talking about. Bring people who can talk in the positive development in music particularly Juju.
Bob Ohiri is past he dead few years ago Bob Aladeniyi is close to king Sunny Ade till today
AGABLETU is no longer a serious thread for serious journalism and has completely lost it.
Since Fela's death, Sunny Ade has no more inspiration. He was forced to change his music anyway. “Syncrosysteme” by Sunny Ade is a copy of “Open and Close” by Fela Kuti. As well as "Kale Sanwa Jowuro Lo" by Sunny Ade a copy of "Coffin For Head of State" by Fela and many other songs of Sunny Ade music which are only copies of Fela. Fela was the greatest musician Africa has known.
You might as well say Let them say, Merciful God, Conscience, Suprise, Triumph, Jealousy, The Good Shepard, The Child, Sweet Banana, Authority and many more that I can't remember are Fela's songs. Nonsense.
I don't think you understand what you are saying at all
@@hapexconsulting3789
Every time we talk about Sunny Ade or Ebenezer Obey, fanaticism manifests itself. I know how to listen to rhythms and songs. In the case of Fela and Sunny, I'm more interested in the rhythm and not the song. You can put any song on a beat. Sunny copied Fela's music and it cannot be otherwise since he recruited Fela's musicians.
@@doncomo4737
It's possible. Do you understand everything you say too ?
go and see your doctor please. You have started smoking your thing again! You cant even articulate your views. What are they saying and what you saying.
I love bale for bringing nice friendly people 😅and whatever people says I still enjoy your experiences 😅😊
Truth is always bitter but FMS has said always 😮
It is common amongst Nigerian musician leaders to be slapping their band boys, if they try that such thing in America, they will end up in prison for assault.
This is going to generate heat and controversy
This guy is too blunt I love him for that
Agbaletu,se o mo pe iwa amunisin ti oyinbo ko wa la nfi bara wa lo ni Nigeria.
Only one statement that mr. Femi made that i will totally disagreed with him was when he said, when the band made a million naira and they did not taken anything home, that was a plain lies.
This guy is blabbing , how can you say obey and ksa music doesn't have structure... oga end this interview and let mr femi take the next available flight to his base to meet his beautiful wife and children
The guy just dey talk rubbish jawe, you didn’t even work with KSA so why talk about him damn!
I BLAME ALL THE BAND BOYS BECAUSE YOU GUYS DIDN'T SPEAK UP. BAND LEADERS ARE NOT GOD, YOU TELL HIM WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING THROUGH AT LEAST YOU DO MEETINGS WITH HIM. SPEAK UP SPEAK UP BUT MOST OF YOU GUYS DOESN'T WANT TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GO ON TOUR AND RUN AWAY.
Dele, you have to be careful when bringing these types of people to your programme. He comes across as a flip flopper. And a bitter individual, we did not say don't criticise, but you have to be constructive. We are talking about the great legends here for God sake. KSA AND BABA OBEY, not been structured, common men. Ti ija ba wanbe ka pari e. He praise them and fault them at the same time. He comes across as novice, arrogant young man. How did he got to USA i in the first instance?
Abi o. Such a braggart
Very very arrogant
the young man is too small for this toxic talk. He should repent.
Imagine and we are complaining about our politician?
Wow!!!! Old skool lingo by bro “CUT TROAT” Damn!!!!
Fact still remains that " one of those wicked band leaders" took you to the USA and you have revenge by running away.
This guy is bitter
Thank you sir. You nailed it. He jumped ship illegally and here he is spewing rubbish and forming saint. KSA will never grant AGBALETU any interview, because the disgruntled and self-entitled former band boys have turned his thread into mere beer parlour discussions.
Great job 👏
This man think he knows everything, those spraying Shina that time, where are they now. Obey and Sunny are still enjoying their goodwill.
Exactly🙏
KSA is an entertainer.
His kind of performance is superb.
Isokuso, how could you say Juju music has no structure ? That's trash talk
I am weeping for mans inhumanity to man. All these people are wicked. No wonder their children had never made it. God will judge them in Jesus name. Greediness per excellence.
I will neither doubt nor question the guest's opinions or experiences about the foremost Juju and Fuji music band leaders. However, the question should be asked: "If SSP was so good musically, why hasn't he lasted over the decades?" He was playing the guitar since the 60's and singing since the early 80's, yet his best period was between Ace and Experience (four years, '89-'92). KSA and CCEO have a more lasting legacy that SSP never matched. Even the Admiral was in a class of his own and was well respected, too. Also, when it comes to fetishism/confraternity, there is hardly any Nigerian musician who hasn't had a taste of either. Further, music evolves with the passage of time, and a good musician must evolve. I don't see how the changes over the years in KSA's music dented his legacy. For me, it got even better.
well said brother. He is a bitter lot and AGBALETU was leading him on because he also admires Shina Peters.
Where were this guy's parents when I.K Dairo - the pioneer of Juju music played for Queen Elizabeth II when she visited Nigeria and she made him a Member of the British Empire (MBE), the first African musician to receive this honor? I'm sure he was a little boy then but his parents should have educated him.
Agbaletu be very careful of who you bring to demean people!! All this statement by this guy I'd unacceptable and totally wrong to assassinate the character of our old gurus!!!
I think is more of K S A topic
Obvious
A band he never played in. I wonder where he got all the rubbish he was spewing.
Truth hurts. The older band memebers got nothing in the long term, they have all been replace by young fools.
Your attempt at rubbishing the talents and hardwork of our legends boomeranged. You only succeeded in rubbishing yourself. You are full of bitterness and disrespect, no one knows you like Sunny and Obey. It's okay to criticize them for not treating their band members well, but trying to rubbish their talents, you failed woefully.
You nailed it! God bless.
So sad that these musical legends are as selfish and greedy as the political leaders.
No they are not selfish. They are not perfect neither. It is just this guy that's missed the road. He is not even a topnotch musician in Nigeria. He is just hustling for relevance.
I discover from this man that the former band boys want to get revenge at their former leaders
Too much bitterness in most of these bands
Pls Dele, don't follow this guy laugh,because it's not funny ridiculing our legendary, multi award winning babas, not only in Nigeria but all over the world. We all know about not being them not being well paid, but saying they are not structured is too hash. Fuji over juju music common man.. This guy just wants to be popular, i like that Wasiu guy. What this guy is saying about wizkid and Fela, is ridiculous. Dele we just celebrated "E kilo fomo ode" recently and many more of our baba music. I will advise you to infact bring this rubbish down ASAP for your own interest Dele because this interview stinks.
my 2 pennies worth as Oyinbo would say....now i understand why these artist like sunny Ade ebenezer obey were so consistent, 1st the band members with fresh ideas,. then cooked up by the lets say more charismatic in quote band leaders.Then another thing with this taking band members abroad is just a scam by the band leaders to fleece the mostly uneducated band boys with no contract and hollow promises....why would they stay if they collected good money ? why will they stay in a foreign land and wash dishes when theres dollars to be made The band leaders know what they are doing.NO CONTRACT NO POWER
