Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- This was a 2012 recorded interview with Sir I.B. Oriowo, a musician so blessed with pure talent but had an unfortunate career fall as a result of negligence of a sound engineer.
Pa Oriowo passed on in 2019 around age 81. He was one of I.K. Dairo's foot soldiers.
What a story! This life can be unpredictable and unexplainable
Mr Adeyanju, you are excellent for bringing these interviews. You are a Nigerian Musical Historian. You should be officially recognised as such. Well done Sir.
Oh wow
I sincerely want to appreciate Chief Dele Adeyanju (AGBALETU Tv) for this interview released, though it almost 10years before the release 🙏🤷but I believe that everything worked together for good. My Dad story was indeed pathetic but all the same we were so glad for his concern and passion for God before he passed away.
So this is your dad!
Yes Sir
Your dad? May God bless his soul. Keep his name flying
@gideonsalami5235 Yes, he is the same Seyi Oriowo that daddy mentioned in this interview.
As old as it is, it's crystal clear. This was when the Yorubas were highly respected all over the world.
Wow I live in ilorin in 80thies the hotel is still there ,own by one woman though she is late now ,that hotel is d first hotel in Kwara state..Baba really make great history d hotel still lively till today ,now I get more confirmation why it was first hotel in kw st.Agbaletu may u live long to make more history,u re d best
I’m nearly 40 years and this is the first time I’m hearing about this man, only Agbaletu can pull this off.
Am hearing him for the first time too
My Brothers till date still call me Sir I. B. That's because I used to imitate his guitar playing as a kid. We grew up in Ibadan and if memories serve me right, I once saw him play at Tip Top Hotel. Our home was never the same after that experience. I would get a wooden stick for a guitar amd mimick the tunining sounds. I'm now in my mid sixties. God bless Sir I. B. Oriowo's family. This is a beautiful time capsule. 😊
I never knew this musician at all, this is fine
Another excellent interview which brings back great memories. I'd even forgotten that Sir IB Oriwo existed as a musician in those days. Wow! May he continue to rest in peace. It is disturbing though that many of the musicians of those days never seemed able to sustain their careers with either longevity nor to have had enough lasting relationships with anyone i.e. producers, markets, friends, fans etc who could have supported them with instruments. Either rented or bought. This must be a BIG lesson to our artistes of today who are living large on immediate acceptance and successes. Please think of and plan for your tomorrow.
I don't understand you. Is he dead? This was posted few hours ago how come you are saying he should rest in peace?
He died 3 years ago
No need to stress the spiritual aspect of this Baba's career challenges beyond the technical ignorance of his musical instruments. If only he and his team had known better about the electrical connections of the instruments!
The high probability of his linking his sudden loss of musical instruments to electric short-circuiting to his refusal to join Ogboni group might have also exaggerated the magnitude of the problem and also beclouded a rational response and self-restoration.
63 years old. never heard this. Thanks beautiful.
Mr Adeyanju, where are you always get this oldies?
Thank you for this excellent interview. ❤❤
Thanks for this excellent interview and I appreciate Bale Agbaletu for bringing to the limelight past memories about our early musicians I used to listen to the music of Sir I.B Oriowo when we were young
Thank God for this interview. i live with his band boys while his brother live in the same with us in ibadan at oremeji House in ososami
I.B Oriowo was very popular in Ile-Ife, Ilesha and Ekiti axis.
I felt that Ijesha tone. May you live long baba.
This man has a good memory.
If I’m not making a mistake, this man probably started playing before Obey. O ga o!
I cried listening to this man’s story. But I thank God he’s now a Christian.
Wow... This is plenty 🥰.
Obey sang this man’s song, I hope he paid him oo. It is well
Baba whey no do jazz, he no go church. He no go mosque. Baba dey play. 😂. He was a very talented musician.
This man(Agbaletu) really helped to provide many answers to many questions in my mind about the chronology of popular music(juju music) in Nigeria...Those interviews are very classic which will eventually form a building block for popular music study in Nigeria...God bless you sir
Awesome👍🏿👍🏿
Video rather than audio of this Interview would have been better
Mr. Deji, kudos to you with these oldies you always bring back. However, what assistance are you trying to bring back some of these old school juju musicians? Because we would love to hear them and the way music used to be played originally then.
I believe there were other juju musicians that were as good as baba obey and sunny ade.
The difference between the two and the other juju musicians was obey and sunny were rugged and continously evolved to match the ever surfacing challenges. While others were not really determined to be successful.
Aye le. E ku ifarada,Sir.
This is a good reminiscent
Dis jazz is what I learn from dis days especially bob guitar line are crazy
Is it possible to compile all the juju musicians in Nigeria. I have never heard of SIR IB ORIOWO before in my life. I heard there are other juju musicians also in Edo state
this sound I mean beat is 99 percent Obey
Especially the strings and style, one could have mistaken his songs for Chief Commander's.
My daddy used to play this particular track a lot but I thought it was Baba commander’s track.
Very pathetic. But GOD knows best. May the good Lord bless him
Aye Reslo... Hmmmm. Agbaletu!!!!!! Dean of Old Skool
JUJU MUSIC ROLL CALL :- Earnest Olatunde Thomas (Tunde Nightingale), Fatai Rolling Dollar, I. K. Dairo, Dele Ojo, Ayinde Bakare, Adeolu Akinsanya, King Sunny Adé and Ebenezer Obey
Pls who can help me with the title the song that end d intervya d names of the artist
Hummmn eeyan shaaaaa
Why you are not show ori owo face
Hmmm. Waste of a talent. He fell because of his bad decision after the burning of his instrument. Lesson is if you have any setback know that there are ways for you to rise again.
