BOOK REVIEW: Ayinla Omowura: Life and times of an Apala legend

This chapter throws the needed light into how this genre of music came to be and what it is today.

Chapter three Ayinla’s iconic years , is a full examination of the one decade that the musician took the Nigeria music scene by storm and dominated the scene with hisvoice. It is a very rich background into how he lived and was able to dominate the scene. His recording years and mannerisms during recordings are all documented in this chapter.

Chapter five, The day Oloburo was murdered, is perhaps the most painstaking chapter in the book. In piecing together the many versions of how Oloburo was killed, the author scoured the streets of Abeokuta to get the details as accurate as possible. It is important to add that he made a huge success of this and many who have wondered how the musician breathed his last would find an answer in this book.

Adedayo has done a very good job for generations to come to know more about the Apala music legend. The worth of his effort may not be realised now but one is sure that with time this would be recognised. He has in a very elegant and robust way documented the feat of this master musician and social crusader.

Some of these are “their” page 38 for there, “thieve” page 56 for thief, “catefory” page 82 for category, and this one on page 240 “She said that she liked meat a lot and took her self-beautification seriously and liked leaking the tobacco called aasa that the elderly leaked . Aasa was placed on the tongue by its users who leaked it bit by bit. Abolore said that after each meal Wuramotu would put aasa on her tongue and begin to leak it.
