tewo gbebo wa

praise and worship - yoruba praise and worship

When I recorded this song in 1997 in Ile-Ife (Osun State, Nigeria), it was because I had some real worshippers in the studio with me and i knew i had to do something. The story of the Christ as narrated by Jide Ojo in the Part I of the piece evokes in me a sense of rawness and realism, it is authentic and unpretentious. Bunmi Balogun's subsequent announcement of the resurrection through a powerful courtyard type declaration is a wonderful contrast to Jide's pensive piece and just makes the whole arrangement work for me. Having people liek Gbenda Adenuga and Lolade Sanni to lend their vocals to the piece was just awesome. I must say, it was an expereince putting this together.
