Baba left with his "goje" Na pangolo music the boys of nowadays were playing.

Most of us got to appreciate this man's music when we got older. Rest in peace 🙏🏾

Baba played at my grandmother's burial ceremony in sagamu 1978. Iya oni iresi. Rest in peace baba

My Dad plays this song usually at night and I grew up not liking it. but as I grew older I now cherish this song and listen to it now......helps me to be calm and also a good sedative when I have insomnia....

His voice is so soothing, relaxing and nostalgic. Thanks to my sister and her husband, they made me discover Baba’s music. He was a legend and a music shaman. May his soul rest in perfect peace. After all his music genre preaches peace.

My favorite track 2021 will still be here in 2055 inshallah

I learned to appreciate these type of songs when I was much older... i was studying for "JAMB" exams... a radio station plays this genre on Monday evening. It helps calms my nerves during those dark study nights... Many later I met a lecture who was into this song and likes give us history lessons about the names in this song and circumstances around it. Good old days...

@@base2060 Oh. In this song he mentioned a lot of names including some royal family members'. I cant remember most of the stories now. There was a part where his back up singer were meant to call one of them "prince" but mistakenly called him "king" even though there was someone else on the throne the prince might ascend although Baba Yusuf Olatunji hastily corrected them but the damage has been done... can't remember the full details too...

What else can one say about these genre? complete in poetry, balanced delivery of vocals and vibes, richness of yoruba language expression and praise varieties. the king is dead, long live the king. His deliveries were my all-night favourites when I was reading for my first degree in sociology at the University of Ife (now OAU) in early seventies. It became addictive untreatted as it became a sweet noght poison when I entered University of Ghana in late eighties for a doctoral degree. Baba l'Egba!!! Keep living.

Despite living in Scotland for a decade, I still listen to this song almost every night. The memory takes me back to my root.

i live in glasgow scotland too. i listen to this music every nigt. it was one of the music i hated very much when i was young when my grandpa plays it but now, in my 50s it now my barry white music. Now i fight with my children that sys they want to play their own devido or burna boy. i just laugh an remember the same i did to my dad and grand dad. It when you grow old from middle age to 90s you will know the beauty of the world our fathers lived during their time.

Real music. Entertaining. Informative. Educative. Inspirational. Rest on, Babalegba

Baba L'egba stood out among yoruba musicians. Even to the admiration of the Northerners due to his mastery of goje.

Sakara music >>> it’s honestly an underrated Yoruba music genre.

My sis just use this instagram. I traced it down here am so happy to reconnect with this . Blessed memory of my Dad

I was initiated to Baba's music over 30 years ago by my late sister in-law. I miss her. She'd interpret the background drumnbeat . I can't do without this music

This music was released in the 70s and still remained evergreen 🌲. This was when music make senses.

Yusuf Olatunji music is evergreens and always make my day. RIP

Baba Yusuf Olatunji was a hero

My dad favorite song when he was still alive..I love dis song right from my childhood..Rip.

May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace..... Love his music so much

I must have had a different personality growing up. I cherished almost every local music genre my dad and uncles played growing up. I'm 21 and still jamming to this golden piece. The rhythm, the instrumentals and his voice adds a more meaningful and youruba-ish touch to his poetic lyrics.

When I was growing up, the only thing I remember about this music was LET THE GOOD TIME ROLL.
