- song: "The Original 'Owanbe' Sound" (Vol.1 Side 1)
artist: Tunde Nightingale
Foundation Juju. Long out of print.
Tunde Nightingale was perhaps the first musician to become a hit performer playing juju in the post World War II period. His particular spin on juju was known as "s'o wa mbe" (is it there?), a slightly risque reference to the beads worn by women under their clothes to make their dancing more sensuous. ~ Leon Jackson, All Music Guide
Born in Ibadan in the 1920s, his contemporaries included Ayinde Bakare, I. K. Dairo and Dele Ojo. Nightingale was credited with the Owambe system, which was popular among Lagos socialites, who eagerly sponsored him on a tour abroad. When he returned, he signed with the TYC label and recorded over 40 albums in his career. Modern stars like King Sunny Ade and Queen Ayo Balogun continue to be influenced by his style. Apart from the fact that he "sounded," literally, like the proverbial singing bird, "Nightingale," he also kept a live Nightingale bird in his home. ~ Wikipedia

I always remember my Dad with all these oldies. Feel like crying. My Dad, my Dad, My Dad....
The real music of my days!
All i can picture in my mind, is isale eko, tokunbo st and ita faji in the 60s and early 70s, good old memories. Thanks.
I wish to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the effort exerted in locating these songs and keeping the culture alive.
They are an all time classic and ought to be passed on to the next generation.
thanks!
Waooo! This is my late father being praised by the man with the golden voice. My father was fond of his music....thanks for sharing this on RUclips. For many years, been looking for this particular volume. Thanks once again.
agboola kotun Love this record as much as you do, Mr. Kotun. I have a relative whose first name is Mukaila and whenever I remember him or feel homesick, I play this just to hear his name. Life is for living and we cannot blame socialites of that era for being omo jaiye jaiye that they were. God rest your Dad's soul, Amen.
He's one of the originals in Lagos in those days, my dad relaxed with Lefty, Abibu, Nightingale, Fashola on weekends, and you better don't disturb him when listening to his favourites. Thanks for sharing.
Kudos for sharing this. Real music from the golden years gone bye. Always fresh in my ears, man. Good, good!
Beautiful music of yesteryears.Very melodious and meaningful.May the soul of Tunde Nightingale continue to rest in peace.
bola .
My parents have just spent the last 10 minutes schooling me on Tunde Nightingale...this music is completely lost on my age group!
I was raised in Lagos at Ikorodu RD/ Fadeyi area. Fortunately for me there was a record store next to our house and I'd listen all day and evenings to all types of music (Ghanaian, Congolese) and of course Nigeria highlife. The ethnicity of the musicians meant nothing to me then but unfortunately as I have gotten older I have began to identify Nigerians by ethnic composition. My childhood was enriched because of this ignorance. But when I listen to this songs today I enjoy them just as I did when I was 6 years old
Chris Ozor wondered what happened to our dear country. i loved every irrespective of their tribe or religion. politicians have really divided us.
indeed, Tosyn. The politicians may try to divide us but we will always be united by our love of music
How I love this your comment
chris I hail ooo... fadeyi crews in the house..
Haa, Chris anytime I think of fadeyi iit all comes flowing back with soundtrack of music blaring from record stores especially around akinsoji and shoyinka streets, nice one good d days
There's no more vibrants musicians anymore unlike perturbed and noisy songs of no effects of nowadays. RIP
"OWANBE" is a type of dance in Lagos in those days Invented by bros TUNDE NIGHTINGALE ...... It is just like syncro system invented by Africa Music Legend King Sunny Ade or Afrobeat by Legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti . Nonetheless it is still part of juju music . A YORUBA CULTURE ..... A LAGOS CULTURE .....
wow wow wow...Pure and Authentic Eko inspired style of Juju music and Tunde Nightingale is the originator of this style
Waje. God bless you for remind me my father's favourite music. your star will continue to shine till eternity. I love you
When music was music. Thanks
This is what Lagos, the land of the Yorubas is all about. Hardwork and miliki.
The musician that reigned I'm the sixties.
Nigeria is blessed
great observation---go and check sunny ade's "mikimiki baba modina;haji miki;baba modina"--in 1982 album;he praise sang Alhaji mukaila onabanjo.----KSA "LIFTED" it on this iconic track!!!

GM, I wish one of the Univeristies should award you a honorary doctorate causa for all these efforts. The impression I had as a young lad (of Tunde Nightingale) was a young boy with a very tiny voice, not until the old Western Nigeria TV showed us some clips of his.
'Kunle-JABU, Ikeji-Arakeji.
the owners of this song sit on a goldmine - there are strong adherents of this genre willing to pay good naira to have this in digitsal format

Qué bien suena
Merry Christmas Gtoovemaster...please where can I find the full album
@radiocardio1 - Thank you :)
I think you need to understand the meaning of the word before you offer correction. The word "wa nbe" means it is there, so your correction has no meaning as far is yoruba language is concerned. so the word as written on the album is right, thanks.
"s'o wa mbe" (is it there?),,,, I guess you did not read the whole culled from Wikipedia he added below the music.. click on show more...
