I knew her and that angelic voice as a teenager in the 60s Ibadan. Heavenly and good enough to sing with the choir in paradise now that she has passed on to glory. God rest her soul.
Greetings! I too give thanks. I am from the Caribbean but was influenced by the music of Batle Alake. It is a joy to hear this music once more. Adupe oooo!

@alabireal Not sure. But Batile Alake was active in the 50s and 60s.
Fab thank you. *****.
This is the origin of waka music though it was traced to Islamic style of music which was transformed by Batile Alake and modernized by Salawa Abeni
