Kudos to you alagba Sola Mapaderun for giving insights into evolution of Yoruba genre of music. I appreciate your efforts in collecting Yoruba musical items. Thanks for keeping the flag flying. Kudos to you too, the presenter and interviewer for job well done.
Kudos to Shola for deep research into the evolution of Juju music. Nothing can be faulted in his presentation and I am particularly happy that he highlighted the fact that our great Juju musicians such as KSA and Obey took a lot from the forerunners such as Ayinde Bakare, Julius Araba, Ambrose Campbell, Adeolu Akinsanya etc al. It is a fact that KSA's 'Epo moto mi titan' was influenced by Ayinde Bakare's 'Alupupu mi baje dokita moto..' same for his tribute to late Adebayo Adebajo that was influenced by Ayinde Bakare's tribute to late Oluwo. Obey lifted Ayinde Bakare's tribute to I S Adewale and also used Ayinde Bakare's tribute to Oriade Wellington in his 'Enyin pegan pegan'. Dele Abiodun remade many old highlife songs, while I don't know if they had the permission of the original artistes, they did a great job by bringing the old music back to the new generation. Thanks to Agbaletu and many thanks to Mr Mapaderun.
Thanks for this interview. Mr Sola Mapaderun is really correct in his story behind Suberu Oni and Why Worry Orchestra. I was also very familiar with both baba Agun and Suberu who were bossom friends to my dad. In particular, Baba Suberu Oni often visited my dad whenever they do no have a show. He was fond of carrying an umbrella, which he carried to whereever he went. Thank you Agbaletu.
This interview is deep, I am so much impressed with the critical analysis and the indepth research done by Mr. Sola Mapaderun, he invested very valuable time in ensuring the record is kept straight and also keeping the memory of those great music icons alive, kudos to Mr. Sola, kudos to agbaletu, thanks for this wonderful and intellectual interview.
What SOLA said is 100% correct, I'm the driver to his mother, they always go to ondo with mr Dayo Duile the Daily sketch editor to celebrate Ogun festival, I always take both the twins and Mama Mapaderun in their Peugeot station wagon.
Francis Akintade and Adebayo Kuroloja are both from Idanre but they both lived and based in Ondo town.,I even know there houses. Francis Akintade is slim and of average height with Ondo tribal mark on his face
I used love their music them, they are like Number 1 in Ondo town together with Akintade band, they have a Why Worry beer parlour in Yaba street where one can see them play.

Please Mr Dele. Can you bring back this man.
He still has a lot to say
Thank you. Things have been a bit busy around here. I still actively collect a lot of old music and hopefully someday be able to share more. Thanks

May you leave long. But sir, with due respect why don't you go home?
Which home? Nigeria you must be joking. A week visitation to US can make you forget Nigeria
