Akeem Ayinla Omowura & His Apala Modernizer Band - 1985 Challenge Cup (Afrodisia 1985)



Akeem Ayinla Omawura is the son of famous Nigerian Fuji bandleader, Alhaji Ayinla Omowura. Omowura Sr. died in 1980 and his son released this, his only album that I can find, on the legendary Afrodisia record label in 1985. Can't find any information about the younger Omowura on the internet, so I'm afraid there's nothing more to say other than enjoy this beautiful music.

For your attention:

Don't let "Simon666" fool you. Simon Hunt is supporting the mentally ill "Rab Hines" (another anonymous web entity) for more than three years-- for the sole purpose of libeling a German jazz musician named Leicht. More about the matter here:

Like "Hines", Simon 666 is one of the most notorious and disgusting trolls on the internet.

Cheers,

I always enjoy getting comments, its great to hear what people think or feel about the music that's posted here, and always a pleasure to have contact with people around the world. However, I don't much like the comments section of this blog being used as a forum for people to bitch, gossip, backbite, rumour-monger or otherwise spread bad vibes, so could I kindly ask people to desist from these activities in my virtual home. This is meant to be a place where people can share a love of music, a place where new connections can be made and musical cross pollination can be imagined, so lets keep things fluffy thank you very much!
