MP3 Baba Ken Okulolo & the Nigerian Brothers - Songs from the Village
14 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Traditional Folk, WORLD: African
Details:
Nigerian master musician Babá Ken Okulolo and his musical brothers are among the few top contemporary West African musicians with deep roots in African folk and palmwine music. This is the music they grew up on, music that was played under the moonlight. Together they bring to life their earliest village memories with harmonious voices, melodic guitars, and traditional percussion instruments. This gentle but joyously rhythmic music is a special treat for those who enjoy authentic African sounds. Songs and rhythms from the Urhobo, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Hausa traditions, plus pidgin English, are heard. Children will love and dance to these songs, too.
"In Nigeria, music is created to help people rise above the pain and suffering of daily life, to transcend all evils with the joy of music. This album brings a message of love, from the African soil which gave birth to us all, and from our blessed ancestors, to whom we offer thanks and praise." --Baba Ken Okulolo
