Eddie Okonta was a great Highlife musician, who as contributed to Highlife music in the 50s, 60, 70. No wonder he was called king of trumpter during his time till death. Because all over Eddie Okonta body was Highlife music all through. RIP king of trumpter. A greate Highlife musician was Eddie Okonta, especially with his blowing trumpet. Eddie Okonta, Adeolu Akinsanya, victor olaiya, Roy Chicago, prince crosdale Juba, Boby Benson, Rex Lawson, may their soul rest in the lord, because these people were real Highlife musician, who play real music in those days. Eddie Okonta, was my late father favourite.
Eddy Okonta, may his soul rest in peace. As a kid in the 60s, I remember watching him perform at the Grandstand hotel at Mokola area in lbadan, Oyo state Nigeria. The late Orlando Julius (Ekemode) dominated the Oke Ado end. Memories are made of these....
I had no idea he could also sing in Yoruba. I suppose it makes sense given the camaraderie among musicians of the era. And Lagos being the dominant market then.
Music was all over Eddy. He was great. I can remember the music he recorded on tape called "woriwo" in the 60s. Get we get the upload of this woriwo music? God bless. So beautiful to see this life recording.
