One of the greatest legends. Great music, never age. So awesome. Stunning compilation. These were the real musicians. thanks for sharing these classic memorable songs.
I am not an Nigerian but when I was a very young in Yamoussoukro (Ivory Coast) in 1965-1966 (my mother’s record favorite) and it became mine favorite. I am in California (I am in my 60s in age now) but I still listen to Sir Victor Uwaifo's, Chief Stepehen Osita Osadebe's, Prince Nico Mbarga's etc works. My first favorite songs from V. Uwaifo: ▪︎Do Amen Do 🙏♥️♥️ ▪︎Joromi♥️♥️ ▪︎Siwo Siwo ▪︎Ekassa ▪︎Akwete ▪︎Arabade (later, 1977)♥️ Others.... Also Rex Lawson and His Rivers Men work (I thought he was a Ghanaian but he was a Nigerian.) Some of a few immortalized Nigerian artists. My music collection started with Igbo, Yoruba, Congolese, Ghana, Conakry Guinean, Kenyan and South African dancing hits. Amen
Well done Merveil Moek. You have done well to still remember all these tracks. Nigeria, nay Africa, is blessed with abundance of talents, and it continues to shine in our music and movies. Keep up the great work. God bless you!!
God bless Professor Sir Victor, Uwaifor our living legend. I have been a fan of Sir Victor Uwaifor from my high school days in the seventies. I am still one of his greatest fans. I listen to his music everyday in Pandora,it’s brings me joy and pride in the foreign land.Anyone,who listen to his masterpieces even when he will not understand the language of the lyrics of the music like me still enjoys his music.Sir Victor Uwaifor is a national treasure and a God’s gift to Nigeria. Long live Professor Sir Victor Uwaifor.
Sir Victor Uwaifo is a living legend. He introduced twin guitar to music and his command of musical instruments - flute, piano, guitar etc is legendary. He must have started music as an Arts student at the Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria back in the 60s. His contemporaries at the time were the late Eddie Okonta, Victor Olaiya, Rex Jim Lawson, Adeolu Akinsanya (Baba Eto) to mention a few. His music was well sought-after by the movers and shakers of Lagos then particularly at Night Clubs. I didn't understand the lyrics but eh, who cares? The rhythm and the melody were enough for me. Long may you live, The Legend!
The only complete artist in Africa and one of the very few in the world. A composer, singer, a multiinstrumentalist, painter, sculptor and inventor. I hope we will really appreciate him before he leaves this side.
Sir Victor Uwaifo is one of the greatest and one of the most talented guitarist in the whole world. He ranks very high in and Africa with the congolese and best in Nigeria. He eats, drinks, sleeps and even bath the GUITAR. Daddy Uwaifor, may you live very long for the world to continue to enjoy the 'GUITAR BOY' FEELING!!!!! (Prof. M. A. Okungbowa)
Epa, you did your part as God has sent and allow you. It remains for the rest the other people to either lift up that land Edo for us. Get rid of the prevailing human failing that has plead it and the nation. May your inventionary inspiration guide the rest people. Ise.
During the civil war, Biafran radio stations played Victor (Nwafo) Uwaifo's recordings that it stock to My memory. Uwaifo and Rex Lawson are TRUE Biafrans. Thanks for the music and memories.
Just because radio station in the east played the music of those you referenced now makes them true Biafrans; what kind of logic is that? So if radio OYO plays a music of Oriental Brothers, that makes Warrior an Oduduwa decent abi?. But who is true Biafran and who's not?
I was either playing the turn table(battery operated)or master of ceremony in well organized student party days. Sir victor Uwaifo is truly a music maestro. Long live Prof.
Still looking for one of his releases 'POLICE' used my college pocket money to buy any of his latest then in 60"s. Let it not hit the air, I will visit all the record stores at PH. looking for that latest. Sadly, I lost all my collections during the war.
Unbelievable melody. Victor Uwaifo's music keeps proving that music knows no language barriers. Little wonder he was knighted by the Queen. (Elizabeth) Evergreen tracks.

MICHAEL OKUNGBOWA You are absolutely right. As a guitarist, he towers above the likes of Eric Clapton. He has no compare.

Awesome.
My husband favourite
I wish one of his children would carry on his legacy. We can't afford to lose such originality.

This track after Joromi is one of my best as a child. I weep whenever it is playing. Please what is the inspiration and meaning of the song?
