Babatunde has dropped out of Phil’s class and is now pursuing his love for music

So I searched "Babatunde" for some KSI clips, then this guy comes up with the surname Olatunji. A quick Google search reveals that this is no coincidence: THIS MAN WAS GENUINELY THE GRANDFATHER OF KSI AND DEJI. JJ got the name for his character from his late grandad.

Thank you for this video. It shows his greatness. He is my spiritual and musical mentor. I was lucky enough to have accompanied Baba to Ghana three times in the 1990s and Baba performed an African wedding ceremony for my wife and I. We are blessed.

0:45 That man on the right is actually JJ. He stopped making videos, grew out his hair and joined his old tribe to reunite with his grandfather, Babatunde the 3rd.

I saw this amazing soul years ago. There was no division between him and the audience it's as thought he was in everyone and around us at once. He opened the stage to all who dared to be free and dance on it. I played his drum and still feel his vibration. All he wanted was peace and unity.

RIP BABATUNDE OLATUNJI.... African drum legend

Lovely! A great reminder of how fortunate I was to spend two week-long workshops w/Baba at Esalen in the early nineties. There was something innately special about him that made one feel extraordinaily privileged to be in his presence....

This is a great outtake from an instructional video Baba did back in the early 1990's. It's Babatunde Olatunji, for those of you unfamiliar with his music. That's the magnificent Sanga of the Valley on the right side of the screen and another of Baba's longtime collaborators Sikiru Adepoju on the left. Both also played on Planet Drum, the full length CD that won the Grammy for best World Music recording in 1991, I think it was. That recording stayed at the top of the charts longer than any other recording in its category.

I was so thrilled to have Baba as one of my many teachers. He was a man of depth- rhythm touched him deeply and it was evident that he lived his goal of empowering others with the drum, the voice and rhythm in general. I remember him playing Fanga in Nevada City when he'd come play there. I am so happy to share with so many people now in his honor! RIP, my friend! THANK YOU for the music!

Baba gets total respect from West African drummers, so all the self proclaimed "virtuosos" out there who can not appreciate the beauty of joyful, (slower=more traditional) djembe drumming, you just don't get it. I enjoy and play the faster urban style myself, but I also love this. Peace.

nadanbrahma11 The way he brought the basics to the common western type was brilliant. Brilliant in the fact that he traveled elsewhere and had the gift of giving. Which is a sort of mastery of ego in itself. Do not envy this man for what he did or his success. Your apathy is weakness a shortcoming your teachers should be humbled by. Who are your teachers?

R.I.P. Babatunde. Master of Djembe!

"From the base motherland, the place of the drum" -Chuck D. African drumming is like the heartbeat of our civilization.

I love this from South Africa

iriiiieeee, mon datta cool I-a-binghi riddim, fe true luv & peace

This is Absolutely beautiful

It's like home is callin' me ! it's not about your skin color, it's about your SOUL ! Peace One

I took care of Baba when he lived in Washington, DC, briefly. Taking him to dialysis and helping him in any way I could while he was here... Then he moved to Esalen Institute, in CA, to live out his last days. I will always treasure the time I had with Baba while he was here on the East Coast.

Sounds really really good! Babatunde drums from the heart. Feeling it!

We had to dance to this at my school already

i am an african AMEN! and proud

Hello broda it's me babatunde

Babatundes latest album Wotaa

BABATUNDE IS ACTUALLY REAL!!!!🤯

Wow, I Love this.

Though this sounds like Fanga, according to my good friend Zorina Wolf who worked/studied and played with Baba for MANY years, this song is actually called "Ife Loju L'aiye" - I was just about to go re-write my charts to Fanga! LOL - I also got to study and play with him but only a half a dozen times, including when he came out to Hawaii to be with us at Village Music Circles Hawaiian Drum Circle Facilitators Camp. It was WONDERFUL. Baba, Songo, Sikuru, and Gordy Ryan on Sanban when they were out west... what a hell of a team! :) East Coast had Bob Bloom playing with Drums of Passion. God Bless you Baba, RIP....

My sister studied dance at the lead drummer's studio in central Harlem. She was 4, 5 or 6. I was 9, 10 or 11. She's now a grandmother. I knew the lead drummer's son, Kwame. Played football at Harvard. Drowned and I still miss him. Visited their apartment on WEST END AVE, NYC. The father was never there but the setting was indeed regal. That's a great man, the lead drummer.

the KuKu rhythm.... very well done.

OLATUNJI!!!!!!!!! The King lives!!!!!

I keep on listen this tune over and over again, and I never got tired of it. Gos bless Master Babatunde. Best regards from Guadalajara, Mexico.

I had the extraordinary experience of seeing Olatunji in Boston during the 60's at what was known as 'Winterfest' - a weekend of various arts performances and exhibitions. I was hooked on African percussion and sill am. He was a triple WOW

Good rythm...you go papa you are so good.

Ksi would be proud 😭😭😭

Amazing artist !!!!! Just mindblowing.......thnx for sharing. Bless...

I got to see him in the 80s! I feel so fortunate!

GANG SHEET

It is extraordinary that this exists, more extraordinary that its in a playable form anyone can access. If the world did not know what blessing was happening at that time, at least there are generations now and later who will all get to see and hear the heart!

I had a healing moment in Malcolm x park ;Washington,dc the spirits were all through the treees the ancestors were fluttering up around high with the swirling of the leaves on and about...I transcend to a higher level that body needed from so much treatment ;steroid,chemo;radiation and h med.....I am so grateful so grateful so grateful ..

I had never been around a Djembe until I started attending our church. It is my favorite of the drums there. It's amazing how many different sounds you can get from just one drum, from Caribbean steel to bass.

who knew this would be the sweetest thing ever?

they look so chill playing but i wanna groove so hard

this guy taught andy kaufman how to play, thats why andy was so good

a great display of rythm & soul. i'm glad this was posted.
