Alhaji Ayinla Omowura – Ati D’Ariyo

March 14, 2012

Warbly low end, complex bubbly rhythms that are part Yoruba talking drums, part bad tape… I love the almost meandering, laid back apala tempo, at one point a precursor to faster, more frenetic fuji music (with which I have lately been obsessed).

I have always enjoyed the solo and chorus vocals throughout this late 70s apala joint by one of the king practitioners of the genre. Oh nice, iTunes has a few other recordings by Nigeria’s late great Alhaji Ayinla Omowura.
