This is awesome, i am grooving in my house in Washington DC right now, remembering my hometown of Ibadan. Dundun and Sekere is such a complex and multi layered style of music incorporating folklore, history, sometimes disses but always on point. The drumming patterns takes years to learn and to become a master drummer was no easy task. Yeah this is the real deal
When these artists have gone we now appreciate and value them much. It now brings Yoruba man out of you in foreign land. I can sense in t his piece of music that he was engaged to confront His former master, Tatalo Alamu over family chieftaincy that fell to Jalaruru's favour , a member of Tatalo's family. Rivalry in music made these musicians tick, waxing abusive songs against their opponents.
Dundun and Sekere seems quite simple at first listen but the talking drums and the embedded messages in them are really what's at the heart of the music. A master Dundun drummer is constantly dropping knowledge and parables and information at every turn. Ijinle and pretty deep. Thank you for this post
Rich cultural displays by these virtually illiterate musicians - balanced composition, good vocalist and chorus able backed by all local traditional musical instruments all these enrich this Dundun (talking drums)and Sekere music of Yorubas in Nigeria
I think you could get his record from K1 the Ultimate record label Omo Aje (Babalaje Records)owned by the Olubadan of Ibadan Oba Adetunji.Alhaji Agboluaje also recorded at same company.
Talking drum is one of the best thing I always enjoy about most apala songs. But I like Agboluaje songs more than Tatalo Arẹmu himself.😊
This music depicts memoirs of the past. More grease to your elbows as you relive our immediate past which we witnessed.
EgbaAleke wallahi !We jaye pe pelu idunnu ati alafia.

Follow me to the Agbaje compound at Ayeye. My grand uncle Ramoni Agbaje. This takes me back home. I am truly blessed
from agbaletutv's interview with Abas Akande Obesere -- never heard of this maestro before tho' - great stuff!
Amuda Agboluaje and Alamu Tatalo are very good in this dundun music.
@EgbaAlake. I am impressed by the sheer number, diversity and quality of your Yoruba music uploads. Thanks a lot and more grease to your elbow.
yoruba is as expletive as it is proverbial and secretive to the novice. How do we pass down the language to the next generation?
Just ordered a rare compact disc, excited to discover Alhaji!
