This is an apala album made by Waidi Ayinla Yusuf Gbogbolowo better known as Ayinla Omowura.
Despite being unlettered, Omowura was enlightened about current events and had a command of puns, proverbs, innuendos and metaphors.
He was a social commentator, critic as well as a moral instructor. He often served as a mouthpiece for passing on government policies to the masses and was also a messenger of the masses back to the government.
This album is an exploration of the culture at that time in the fascinating apala melody. A must have!
