[OxRohi]

I wasn't born anywhere when this song was made, came across it this year 2024, now my soul yearns for more of it.

[joeblack]

I am from Togo living in Europe, 40 y. old. I do not understand any word from all the music of Oriental Brothers International Band. But my soul and spirit are used to fall deep in ecstasy and tears each time I am listening to. I don't know why, but it is so. There is something spiritual in the performances of this group. Big up for this Band. May African Ancestors bless them.

[tbarajide]

I'm a Yoruba guy, not in my life time will I ever joke with This band. They were just too good

[twlithewordloversint]

People don’t understand why a Yoruba love Oriental brothers so much. Their music has spiritual deep spiritual connotation.

[ngozikadavid]

This is exactly 2:00am 1st of April 2024. I’m a young woman, who just loves Oriental Brothers songs. These were the kind of songs I grew up listening to in the early 90s.. You can blame that on my father.😎

[akpugo]

I'm from, Poland. My husband is from, Akpugo, Enugu. I love this song. Thx.

[donbright]

Still listening from Dubai today 29/1/2022 this early morning just to remember that igbo Amaka. If you love igbo and entire Biafra let's gather here

[shinaoyemade]

When music was music not the nonsense music we hear now. Today's music is gone to the dogs. God bless this group, the one's deceased may he Rip. Amen.

[ShuJohn-kj]

My name is John i live in the south of cameroon i just can't tell how i feel when I listen to this turns it makes me the african that i am May God bless you guys

[Treshoreman]

Oriental Brothers carry the Biafra spirit, the ancestors sent them to sing us these dirges after the biafra Biafra genocide against Igbo people in Nigeria.
People are wondering how kids born yesterday all love their track, even people who dont understand the language cry at the sound of their sounds.
Biafra is the truth, Igbo Kwenu

[Timbaland]

This music is magic. I have been listening to Sir Warrior for over four years now. I love this music so much it takes me to another level. The guys were genuinely talented. I am from Zimbabwe and I live in Manchester, even though I don’t understand the words the music itself is captivating. Rest in power Dr Sir Warrior!

[colinuju]

Some of you may no understand the lyrics, it is quite solemn, used to energise the Igbos of Biafra who lost the Nigerian Civil War- 1 million killed. Indeed, it has a balming and healing effect.

[ucukaoma]

The Oriental Brothers International group was quite talented.

As I ride my bicycle (for exercise) on the streets of Brushy Creek in Round Rock, Texas, such tracks take me home to Nigeria while bringing Nigeria to me here in Central Texas.

Music is truly a universal language: even people who don’t understand an Igbo word, appreciate and are moved by the melodies. Remarkable!!

Nigeria is endowed with so much talent yet most of them are wasted due to misrule, greed, and outright shortsightedness.

Anyway, the more one listens to the greatness of our beloved musicians from Yesteryears, the more one marvels at the sheer talents of these musical geniuses!!

Let’s appreciate these surviving talented people now, and not after they or we die!

Appreciation is best expressed in life and NOT in a eulogy!!!

[ugohanyanwu]

Who is here listening with me in year 2019?

God bless Late Dr. Sir Warrior

May his soul continue to rest in peace

[emekaikekwem]

My credit goes to Tony Awuma. The lead guitarist. And another dangerous thing here is sir warrior and his powerful voice that no ever replace sir his departure. May his soul rest in peace. And Aloy Anyawu is not helping matter with his badest bass guitar. are we talking about Chife Dansatch with his melody Rhythm . Is it German with his magical drummer. This men are something else.

[princeuyiekpen]

These are those days, when guitar, voice, drums, speaks differently and later combined everything to be one. Sometimes I ask myself, these people of those days, were really seeing and receiving melody from God. Not what they are playing now. Good music is gone and as been played in the 60s, 80s, 90s.

[ugochukwuonyemaechi]

Remembering myself driving from Lagos to Owerri playing the songs of the oriental brothers band it's always good morning lagos and good morning owerri. ❤ ❤❤

[ugochukwuonyemaechi]

Dr sir worrior said it that he is the mouthpiece of the great oriental brothers band and till today nobody has proved otherwise, Rip legendary Sir Worrior.

[monalousnwankwo]

Whenever I i listened to this or any other track from Oriental brothers, i remembered my late Dad. He never joked with this kind of music.
May their souls be counted among the blessed. Amen.

[fridaynwachukwu]

You might not be alive but know that what you left behind is always alive in the hands of the world playing everyday, some on repeat.
