Listening to this song brings back so much old memories when our African communities had rich Yoruba traditions and culture through Ogugu’s, Ugunuku’s and Gelledeh traditional societies.
So childish of me in the early 80's growing up as a child. I get so confused and annoyed to why my dad always listened to this slow and sluggish music. I appreciate it more than all music now as an adult. I listened to Baba Legba and Ayinla almost daily. Thanks for posting
I learned to appreciate these type of songs when I was much older... i was studying for "JAMB" exams... a radio station plays this genre on Monday evening. It helps calms my nerves during those dark study nights... Many later I met a lecture who was into this song and likes give us history lessons about the names in this song and circumstances around it. Good old days...
Hi Ayo, I'm interested in knowing the back story behind some of the things baba said in this song. Pls reply if you'll be able to educate me on this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@base2060 Oh. In this song he mentioned a lot of names including some royal family members'. I cant remember most of the stories now. There was a part where his back up singer were meant to call one of them "prince" but mistakenly called him "king" even though there was someone else on the throne the prince might ascend although Baba Yusuf Olatunji hastily corrected them but the damage has been done... can't remember the full details too...
@@base2060 not sure but i think he was sick and went for a surgery in Lagos, Madam Adebisi 'cash madam' paid for it (that's why she was heavily praised)
What else can one say about these genre? complete in poetry, balanced delivery of vocals and vibes, richness of yoruba language expression and praise varieties. the king is dead, long live the king. His deliveries were my all-night favourites when I was reading for my first degree in sociology at the University of Ife (now OAU) in early seventies. It became addictive untreatted as it became a sweet noght poison when I entered University of Ghana in late eighties for a doctoral degree. Baba l'Egba!!! Keep living.
Almost everyone will tell you how they hated this kind of music as a kid, but then you get to a certain age and starts to understand what beauty you have wrapped up in the music.. I’ll jam this and pass it on to my kids.. Great music that connects with your inner soul.. Rest on Legend ❤️
I can’t stop laughing. Your statement speaks directly to me. I remembered with such nostalgia those old days when I watched my dad move slowly but happily to the melodious rhythm of baba elegba. I makes me sick since I was too young to connect with it at the time. Now I blast the music everyday with the same cycle of disapproval from my kids. Maybe they will understand when they grow up😂
This is so acutrate. My parents played more of Fela, KSA, E. Obe's and the High-life songs at home... but I heard this on the radio more. I didn't hate it. I didn't just know how beautiful the song was until I needed a company during study time and this song helped. I didn't even know the lyrics then until i was much older.
MY FATHER CAN NOT DO WITHOUT THIS MAN MUSIC , HE SPEND ALL HIS MONEY ON THIS MAN AND HE AND HIS FRIEND WOULD BE DRINKING PALMWINE , NOW , ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TO DRINK THIS SAME PALM WINE AND DANCE TO THIS MUSIC , THIS MUSIC IS SO SPIRITUAL TO ME . I LOVE IT SO MUCH I CAN NOT DO WITHOUT , IT IS MY WAY OF HEALING MY BODY.
Funny thing tho, I would always question why he listens to this kind of music that is very slow. Fast forward to my age now….I love this song….😂😂😂😂. Everything makes more sense now. I sit with my drinks and enjoy the melodious voices….with few instruments.
His voice is so soothing, relaxing and nostalgic. Thanks to my sister and her husband, they made me discover Baba’s music. He was a legend and a music shaman. May his soul rest in perfect peace. After all his music genre preaches peace.
My Dad plays this song usually at night and I grew up not liking it. but as I grew older I now cherish this song and listen to it now......helps me to be calm and also a good sedative when I have insomnia....
i live in glasgow scotland too. i listen to this music every nigt. it was one of the music i hated very much when i was young when my grandpa plays it but now, in my 50s it now my barry white music. Now i fight with my children that sys they want to play their own devido or burna boy. i just laugh an remember the same i did to my dad and grand dad. It when you grow old from middle age to 90s you will know the beauty of the world our fathers lived during their time.
If you are thinking of a traditional music that relaxes go for baba legba and Osita Osadebe. Like some here, I hated this music with passion until I grew up. Whenever I want to go secular in relaxing my head, I go for it. No wonder it was aired late night by Splash FM Ibadan in the days . I don't know now. Good music died in the 80s/90s.
When he had a knee problem and Cash madam paid for the surgery. Baba promised to wax her a song that will be the best of all the songs he had written. 40+ years, Baba is late, Cash madam is still alive and so is YEGEDE
I must have had a different personality growing up. I cherished almost every local music genre my dad and uncles played growing up. I'm 21 and still jamming to this golden piece. The rhythm, the instrumentals and his voice adds a more meaningful and youruba-ish touch to his poetic lyrics.
International standard African music, percussions, drums, & the string out of this world not forgetting the vocals, if u take a band like this around the world you will make crazy millis, because white people understands good music than us.
When i was a lil boy my dad always listen to baba legba omo wura epo akara haruna ishola etc i always got boiled for all dis kind of music . But now as iam getting older i got so much love on his music , that i cant do without playing baba legba in a single day . May his soul rest in peace ❤❤❤❤
I was initiated to Baba's music over 30 years ago by my late sister in-law. I miss her. She'd interpret the background drumnbeat . I can't do without this music
God bless your memory Baba L'egba, i grew up to know this much about his songs from my late parent's and uptil this moment i listen to it every moment am lonely or needed good rest.
When I hear this song and other songs from Yusuf Olatunji, S. Aka, Haruna Isola, Dauda Epoakara, tears run my eyes as I remember.y dear beloved father.
I am a visual artist and always love to listen to this nostalgic music cos it inspires my thoughts and art. I really appreciate baba's music. bless up sir
Yoruba ronu, Yoruba ronu, Yoruba ronu. This culture, this inheritance, this history, has to be appreciated, mantained and cherished. Yoruba Nation must evolve. We are much better than what we have now. Common on.
May Allah be pleased with Alhaji Baba's as he is fondly called or Baba Tawa soul. I know this record from A-Z through him cos he plays it everyday especially on weekends.
May you gentle and highly talented soul continue to rest I peace. This music is the best antidote for sleeplessness. Folks you do not need any medication to have sound sleep. How to use it for sleep. Just lay on the med in averagely guite room kick in the song and be really attentive to the lyrics, that all you need
Your reply gat me laughing out loud. You're very right, we have lost it all. You can imagine listening to noise while these beautiful folklore music die
My Daddy loves this song so much...
Continue to rest in peace 😢😢

This applied to me...but I appreciate the philosophical notes
Na today I just know some of the meaning of this MAN.... I could say this man songs is the best song
love ur comment bless up
Comprehension comes with maturity. We all seem to share similar experience growing up
We are all in the same boat.
Listening to it in New York City, USA. Sometimes we don't know what we have until we don't have anymore. Baba live on.
Baba played at my grandmother's burial ceremony in sagamu 1978. Iya oni iresi. Rest in peace baba
I'm also from Sagamu 😊

Same here with your last sentence
Most of us got to appreciate this man's music when we got older. Rest in peace 🙏🏾

Sakara music >>> it’s honestly an underrated Yoruba music genre.

I made my client's day by listening to this music 🎶 this morning
My favorite track 2021 will still be here in 2055 inshallah
Despite living in Scotland for a decade, I still listen to this song almost every night. The memory takes me back to my root.

89YEARS AND ALHAJA ADEBISI KUBURAT STILL LIVING STRONG.. CASH WOMAN
The woman is still very strong and agile
She is our matriarch back in my hometown.
Real music. Entertaining. Informative. Educative. Inspirational. Rest on, Babalegba
We should always treasure this man. His music will never leave the Yorubas consciousness.

Baba left with his "goje"
Na pangolo music the boys of nowadays were playing.
Baba L'egba stood out among yoruba musicians. Even to the admiration of the Northerners due to his mastery of goje.
MY late dad's favorite is Yusuf Olatunji.most especially this track.Baba legba himself is a legend.Rest In Peace.
My dad favorites are yusuf olatunji and lefty salami
I will recommend this music to my friend who owns a restaurant in NYC. This is perfect for his ambience. NYC elite will find this incredible
Listening to it in Vancouver Canada
When he had a knee problem and Cash madam paid for the surgery. Baba promised to wax her a song that will be the best of all the songs he had written. 40+ years, Baba is late, Cash madam is still alive and so is YEGEDE
Brings back memories of my mother. Saturday mornings weren’t complete without these melodies.
One of the ever green songs that represents the great yoruba icon, in anywhere in the world.
RIP Baba legba.
RIP, Baba Legba
Always filled with the thought of my mum whenever I listen to this piece. May you live long mum. 🙏🙏
