专辑简介
This fascinating CD was extracted from the British Library archives. "Awon Ojise Olorun" explores some of the first recordings of Yoruba music. It includes sakara music of Yoruba Muslims, the guitarists of Lagos, and the origins of apala percussion groups.
The collection includes recordings by some of the most important musicians of the time: Rafiu Bankole, Abibus Oluwa, Lasisi Onipele, Akanbi Wright, Julius Araba, Lasisi Layemi, Raimi Dogo, Yesufu Olatunji, Aiyeke and his Orchestra, Aminu Olaribigbe, Alhaji Muniru Singers, Theophilus Iwalokun, Irewolede Denge, and Isamoto Alade.
The thick booklet features a historical introduction, lyrics, liner notes about the songs and a bibliography.
