This song makes me remember myself as a young child. Never knew the meaning then but now, makes a lot of sense to me. Rest on sir. Your songs are inspiring.
Great legend, my mum your sister tells me about you and one olabuwa your close pal you will always be remember for the good works you left behind the Crossway juba
Crossdale Moboluwaji Juba was born in the early 40's into a royal family of Oba Daniel Iksika Juba and Queen Marin Juba in Ilutitun Osooro, Okitipupa. He began his musical career as a Brigade at St. Louis Local Authority School and started out professionally as a trumpeter with the Agundiade Star Dandies, Ado Ekiti before he left for a bigger group Comina Mend and Dynamite Ten, which was a Ghanaian band which played at the Empire Hotel, in Mushin and then later at Club 21 in Apapa. He then played with Adeolu Akinsanya's band and other great highlife musicians like Victor Olaiya, Roy Chicago, Eddy Okonta and Rex Lawson. He ended up doing a number of releases for EMI and Eroya records that documented the vitality of his Modibodo sound. The article goes on to say Crossdale Juba died young, but neglects to give a cause. A consummate performer, music critic Benson Idonije said, " the acceptance of Crossdale's Modibodo's music could be measured by the surging crowds that took to the dancing floor each time Juba crept towards the microphone to sing. With a trumpet in hand, he sang with a guttural, glossy voice as he produced modern jazz sounds reminiscent of Mike Falana. His voice can be likened to that of a nightingale, especially with the tinge of Ikale dialect which allows the lyrics tumble out with immediacy and urgency. Juba joined Victor Olaiya's All Stars band and he was able to forge a headway with his Mobibodo Highlife tradition"
A great son of ikale land !!!his music was introduced to me by my big brother Mr Femi Omogbehin in 2008 also a native of ikale and ever since I have been a huge fan of his music !!continue to Rest on highlife KING...enjoying your music from the Scandinavians !!😊😊😊
This song remains his trademark in the annals of music, it’s so deep even with his sonorous voice .... you need to know the meaning of the lyrics and appreciates its philosophical leaning. Unfortunately, he never new ‘THE NIGHT’ was near. RIP JUBA of Ikale land.

IMMENSELY TALENTED MULTI INSTRUMENTALIST,HE AND WALE GLORIOUS LEFT TOO SOON. ITS A GREAT HONOUR FOR THE YORUBA RACE TO HAVE HAD SUCH SUBLIME COMPOSERS GRACE OUR LANDMARK..RIPP.
I came across this track and when I listened to it, apparently if not for his sonorous voice, it is hard to differentiate between his rhythms and beat from that of the HIGHLIFE legend Pa Victor Olaiya, Very AMAZING!!! Mo fo gi o sun ree O bami.
