Ohhhh this music brought tears to my ears, I thank you so much. God bless you, this takes me back to when I use to jam this song in my tiny room, disturbing the neighbours that could not understand what dis Yoruba girl was listening to. Thanks again.
You understood it then
Nigeria old music is nice I am a Kenyan enjoying it in Canada
Thank you for sharing your mind on the Igbo's high life music from north America, I am in Johannesburg - South Africa.
The Igbos were at the greatest period of creativity during and after the BIAFRAN WAR. God bless us. This music is highly refined.
Iseeeee
We tend to forget the circumstances that gave birth to this brand of highlife. We had just emerged from the civil war with a bleak future starring us in the face. The Peacocks with their music provided us with the balm that soothed our body and provided the tonic that invigorated our spirit. All I can say is thanks a bunch for the memories.
You a damn good student of history....Nice write up..
You correct bro
For the record, this particular album and song came out in 1977, a clear 7 years after the war. Some of us are fond of using Biafra as crutch or as a pity-attracting phenomenon, doing so sickens me. Igbo existed before Biafra and has been existing since Biafra.
I can't forget the turntable and the records my dad played. Oriental brothers, Peacock are a blessing to the Igbos...
@@Zaramoku You obviously missed the context of the text. The focus was on the band, Peacocks Guitar Band, and not on the song - "Sambola Mama." As for changing me and others who use the experiences of Biafra as a theatrical stage to lay guilt trips and for fickle exploitation, is an opinion you're entitled to but you're not entitled to your own truth. Biafra is a fact of history that can never be disputed or wished away. It is part of my history and I'm entitled to express it any which way I saw feat. The Peacock Band was an integral part of the phenomenon that helped Ndigbo to triumph on to greater successes.
Nwanne they are very natural,touching and inspirational.they sound like a rusted antiquity straight from the cobweb.Taking you back to those ages when we use to hide in an uncompleted building to eat a tin of sardine and a loaf of bread and clean our hands with nchuanwu leaf.You remember the notion then,if you are an elder and eat sardine you are very rich but if you are a kid or teenage you are a complete thief.Cos some families then could afford rice 3times a year.xmas,harvest and easter.
You belong
Taken me back to the golden oldies, when we thought that there was a country called Nigeria, alas all has been a mirage. This track reminds me of my very vibrant uncle Batho....mmuo diegwu. ..may his soul and that of my father Ferdinand rest in peace.
I love this song so much! This particular track (Sambola Mama) has two versions - this one and the other being a remix by Skylarks Band owned/led by Nze Dan Orji. I tend to prefer the remix though. Did you hear the proverb? "Agbara gburu onye nwe ishi ya, gwakwalam onye oga edoma (a deity that killed its chief custodian, tell me who will be spared from its wrath)?"
Emma Cliff Well translated.
A chap named Emmy Cliff (remarkably similar to your name) recently dropped the track "Internet Baby". I saw video of that track today and the style of sound and dialect of lyrics reminded me of a much-loved version of "Sambola Mama". Searching for that version now is what brought me here. The version is at th-cam.com/video/OdcNKk-KWFw/w-d-xo.html
Nkwa! egwu!! igba!!! ubo akwara!!!!... biafra ndi oma. ya dikwara unu na mma.
This music brings me sweet and loving memory of my daddy, way back in the 70s, when i use to spend some time with my daddy in his shop a long Akpakpava road, in benin city, where an adjacent shop dealing on electronics was always blowing this music and it was own by my uncle and my daddy, some time go in there just to cool off, what a beautiful recording
I somehow connected here tonight and I'm getting all these songs to my list, I've missed them from childhood.
Rest in peace mum and dad .this music reminds me a whole lot while growing up in the street of port Harcourt
2024 I'm still enjoying it like it dropped today
Fantastic! Powerful music straight from the soul. I'm amazed by the comments and thankful for the discovery. Thanks.
Men! i must recommend you for this great service. Is not common, i know what it means to reach and satisfy great audience at large. Pls keep this good work on , may the good Lord replenish you is my prayer.Thanks and welcome
Correct music....am thanking God Almighty for his mercies.... remembering my village...once you start listening to dis music... you your people.. Naze Owerri..
It is a great part of the brazilian soul too.
Egwu ukwu. As my late mum will always say. Keep resting in peace nne mu
My father always use to play this music when we are still a kids Love this music die
This is our music.
Great guitar skills of Ralph Amarabem
From EZIAMA IKEDURU OWERRI
Great song ❤
You hit the nail on the head my brother. Your comments are astute and aptly captures the moments we experienced in those days.
The voice of Chief Nda Danny Nwa Amadioha. The great Abriwa
Had this on tape many many years ago and the blasted thing broke - could not withstand so much repeat playing. Have since been dying to ear this. Many thanks. Does bring back some special memories of my youthful years in the streets of Owerri. SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
......Mama le ma kwala ukazi n'ofe mgbala anyi na nturukpa.... these two vegetables when combined in preparing the legendary and sumptuous Ofe Owere Soup, produce a dynamic one-two knockout punch. Ofe Owere Soup: Eshieya n'maa erie ya n'maa. Onye ari ego okpa eji la eri la ya! Translation: With Ofe Owere Soup, it is consumed on the spot - there are no left overs for tomorrow. It's a soup reserved for the wealthy and the noble.
iwu ezigbo nwafor igbo
Iwu nnomara onye owerri daa

Priceless work of ART!!!
What a wonderful music???
Uka agwula! Ntarama Ugba nnuruma Mmia, Ndi ruga ulo elu ha ruruma. Ndi Kuga gbamgbam, ha kuruma. Egwu eji ararama ndu. This was when life was good my brother! When children respect adults and when adults live and respect their age. People had sound morals and conscience.
The memories this song brought back 😔
God bless you for posting this great song. Please, if it is possible, can you post other songs in this Album such as (1) Nne Wu Nne, (2) Ocho Mma, (3) Umu Nnunu. Thanks in advance and remain blessed.
Pay close attention to the incredible guitar skills from 12:00 to 40:00
Uncle rest in peace

Biafara land of milk and honey God bless Biafara
back to base,old memory fully back
Nwanne ji shi ike daa. E me nam me che a he.
Agbara gburu onye wu ishi ya!!!!
Agbara gburu onye ji ishi ya gwakwalam onye ona ga edoma (the deity that slew its chief priest, tell me who else it would spare?). That's an irrevocable word of wisdom.
+Zaramoku Arii onye owu daa
wonderful
When music was good
❤❤❤
Omor This shit still sounds Great
This track rocks!
God bless Nze Dan Orji for this masterpiece.
Thanks @Groovemontzer!
Dan Orji had nothing to do with this song; he had left the band before its release by the Peacocks in 1977. Ejike Anyanwu wrote and sang this song. Nze Dan released his own version of this same song with his Skylarks band in 1978. Both versions were hits then and now too. But has anyone noticed that the song makes no sense at all? If you doubt me listen to what he is saying.
+Zaramoku Most songs don't make sense either. This is a - make -me - feel - good - kind of music designed to make one losen up and shake off their inhibitions. Do you remember the last time you ate an authentic Ofe Owere with Ukazi and Nturukpa? That's what the song did for me. lol.
+Theo Barclay Eke Let me be clear that I love this song and I must have listened to it over a million times without having gotten tired of it. The song is a classic, even though it convey's no coherent sensible message. Well, I guess you are correct: not all songs make sense or need to make sense to suit the soul. I like your positive take on it and I am borrowing it from now on. Nwanna, you just aroused my appetite with the question you posed to me. Chei, akwa annu abiala ozo?
Anyi wu nde owerri. Ya gashiela anyi
Correct stuff.
This music started like oriental brothers
Please can you download or uploaded even side load for the boys btw your version is d Bess quality in town
I wish i understood the lyrics, this song is nice.

Igbos, our root runs deep
Long live Federal Republic Of Biafra
+Blacky Doll There is no such thing as Biafra. You are Nigerian and so I am. God bless Nigeria. To hell with Biafra.
+Blacky Doll God bless you and God bless Biafra and all people of good will.
Umuahian to hell with your mother.. clown

Owerri Nde nma,Anyi bia la
What does Sam bola mean?
Biafra anyi ga adi
THERE IS A MISTAKE HERE.
THIS IS NOT SAMBOLA MAMA
This is just Sambola; it came out in 1977. The Sambola Mama you have in mind came out in 1972, or thereabout, by the same band. There is no mistake, you just have to pay close attention.
This is not sambola mama
This song is not SAMBOLA MAMA. Here is the link to the real SAMBOLA MAMA song by Peacocks International th-cam.com/video/6pBCvHDvO6E/w-d-xo.html
