I was just thinking about the kind of music we all enjoyed
and rocked at parties during the 90s and I wonder what happened to this veteran
artists;
Before there was Patoranking there was Daniel Wilson of the
‘baby walakolombo’fame.
Before there was a Dbanj,we rocked to the tunes of Mike
Okri(he tried to make a comeback recently).
Before Omawunmi,Waje and Tiwa,Onyeka Onwenu delighted us and
still does with her sonorous voice.
Daddy Showkey,Daddy Fresh,Baba Fryo,The late Father U-turn
all made us fall in love with Galala and every tune coming out of Ajegunle .
What about Sir Shina Peters,no birthday party was complete
without ‘IJO SHINAAAAAAA’ and watch the crowd go gaga at the sound of
this.My dear friend made the grand entry
with a dance to her wedding reception
with this Shina Peters classic last year at her wedding in Abeokuta,the song is
that good and evergreen.
Oritz wiliki ,Majek Fashek,Raskimono sang their reggae with
so much passion.
Some of us also grew up listening to the Waka Queen,Salawa
Abeni(no need to form posh over this)did I hear u hum to yourself ‘gentle lady
nimi emi kin she fighter oo’.
Dayo Kujore and Dele Taiwo made Juju sound so enchanting,of
course with the legendary King Sunny Ade and Baba Commander Ebenezer Obey
leading the pack.
Adewale Ayuba Mr Johnson made us wriggle our waists to his
Bonsue Fuji...Those were the good old times.
And in Olamide,the rapper’s voice, let me say’ long live
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal living legend’,who gave us Talaso Fuji.
God bless the the artist that sang ‘Ifeoma Ifeoma I want to
marry you’
And our Favorite birthday tune by Evi Ogona ‘uhhhhh yea,I
wish you happy birthday..
The pure unadulterated gospel music of Funmi Aragbaye
,Ayewa,Timi Osunkoya , the C&S Ayo ni choir and Comfort Omoge blaring from
the speakers makes you not want to lose sight of salvation.
The list is endless and I can go on and on. I know I stirred
up a nostalgic feeling in some of you,lol.Feel free to add the list of your own
favorite Nigerian artists of the 90s.
