Haruna Ishola

Haruna Ishola & His Apala Group – Mba B’Ejire Mba Yo

Nigeria’s o.g. Yoruba apala master Alhaji Haruna Ishola makes a powerful impression on me here. This particular cassette-shaped drop in the bucket of his immense discography is downright effervescent compared to many zzzz-inducing examples.

Talking drums of 1975 talking to me til I take this tape out.

Buy this record, or at least part of it, here.

hey, love your blog, it’s pure joy…
but this new way of downloading is bad. zshare are pure evil…
if you want to do it this way please use less evil providers such as meadiafire or multiupload…
your fans will be grateful

kind regards
Mike

Even Fela Kuti spoke of Alhadji Haruna Ishola with reverence. I can feel this music doing me good.

Please help like Haruna Ishola fan page on Facebook. I am helping this man promote his music and to make his music legacy live on… It appears the man is gradually fading into obscurity. Simply search him up, like and follow the updates NOW. Thanks :)

THIS MUSIC OF HARUNA ISHOLA IS EXCEPTIONAL. BABA NGANI AGBA IS A LEGEND AND I AM ALWAYS INTRIGED BY HIS NON STOP PROVERBIAL SONGS. HE WAS GREATLY TALENTED.
