May 29, 2009 - One of my Dada favorite musicians and we're Yoruba. So music knows no bounds.

EnuBed Says:

May 31, 2009 - Groovemonzter,many thanks. Please,can you interpret his songs in Kalabari e.g."So Ala Temen" ? I have no difficulty with "Love Mu Adure" because it was sang in Ibo,a lagacy of Rex Lawson having an Ibo mother. Just in case you don`t understand Kalabari,will any one who does kindly interpret "So Ala Temen" etc for me and other interested viewers. Please post also "Sussana Pango","Mbanga" and "Peri Special".

groovemonzter Says:

May 31, 2009 - I have to admit that I don't speak a word of Kalabari. Maybe someone out there can help us..

groovemonzter Says:

May 31, 2009 - EnuBed ~ I have "Peri Special Mbanga" posted. Search my videos for Rex Lawson and you'll find it. I'll look around and see if I have Sussana Pango maybe more. Let's see now...

Jun 14, 2009 - Rex Lawson was the greatest highlife musician of all time! When I listen to tunes like Suzana Pango, I have goose bumbs from Igo Chicko's saxophone solo. By the way, most of the saxophone solos on early Fela songs were done by Igo Chico. Tony Odili set the standard on congas and its still being copied. No offnse Maceo, Igo had the groove and it was all on the 'one' before James thought of it, believe it or not! Lawson made u cry, laugh and dance all at the same time. We lost a great musician.

Jul 17, 2009 - You are quite right Dotun007. It seems to me that Baba Kenneries recorded 'Yellow Sisi' long after the death of Rex Lawson in 1971. I could be wrong!! Orlando Owoh, Juba are both contemporary of Rex Lawson in juju and highlife music. I never knew they were both singing the same thing until I listened to Rex Lawson version. Good observation!! May their souls rest in peace.

pastorisaac611 Says:

Jul 17, 2009 - Again Dotun007 have you noticed same tune and similarity in his 'Jolly Papa' track and that of Ebenezer Obey "Ori Bami Yemi' in the 60's? The song may have different meaning but the lyrics look the same.
