Yellow Sisi by our own Rex Lawson. The old Rivers State will never forget you. God bless Nigeria God Bless the Niger Delta God bless Rivers and Bayelsa States.
@@kofisam4106 Your Samy Kofi's Yellow sisi was released in the 90s while that of Jim Rex Lawson was in the 70s. Oh Ghana your history is very poor paaaa
It's very enjoyable to come across your reaction to the song Yellow Sisi so I would be pleased to see your reactions to "I get hope (God Dey Share Am)", "Everyday Man Dey Tire", "Suffer Suffer", "Hungry Man" all are songs by Abrekyieba Kofi Sammy. I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions.
This is a cover of the original Yellow Sisi by the Nigerian highlife artiste Cardinal Rex Lawson (d. 1971). Flavour Nabania also covered his Sawale in his popular Nwa Baby (giving it a Latin twist with the Cuban el manisero sound). It's an opportunity to let your viewers know that West African music is a pool to which all countries contribute and take from. Yellow Sisi is an example of what you might call a West African standard that many bands across the region have covered, in live performances if not on record. The Nigerian Orlando Owoh also covered it. Other West African standards are the Ghanaian Yaa Aponsah (first recorded by Kweku Asare in the 30s) but covered copiously across the region. The Nigerian Victor Olaiya alone has two covers (Lafia We Lawani and Yabomisa). There's the Nigerian Everybody Loves Saturday Night (recorded by Jolly Orchestra of Lagos in 30/40s, covered across the world from Jazz to Mexican mariachi), the Sierra Leonean Fire Fire Fire by Ebenezer Carlendar, etc. The broader music of West Africa called Palmwine music flowed back and forth across the region, creating genres like Gombe and Ashiko in Sierra Leone, highlife in Ghana, Ashiko, Agidigbo, Juju, etc in Nigeria. All these genres influenced one another and drew from music that was coming from our diaspora in the Carribean and US (calypso, rumba, jazz, etc). This is the kind of education that can held stop the arrogance that any one country created specific genres of music in the region, all by itself.
Is Onitsha you are trying to call sir, that Lady you interviewed about Nigeria told you Nigeria is more than just Lagos and Abuja. Onitsha is just a big city on his own just like Lagos, and is one of the business cities in Nigeria, let me even shock you That's were we have the biggest market in Africa as at then around 60s, 70s, I don't know about now. One Love Ghana and Nigeria and Africa as a whole
