I am not an Nigerian but when I was a very young in Yamoussoukro (Ivory Coast) in 1965-1966 (my mother’s record favorite) and it became mine favorite. I am in California (I am in my 60s in age now) but I still listen to Sir Victor Uwaifo's, Chief Stepehen Osita Osadebe's, Prince Nico Mbarga's etc works.
My first favorite songs from V. Uwaifo:
▪︎Do Amen Do 🙏♥️♥️
▪︎Joromi♥️♥️
▪︎Siwo Siwo
▪︎Ekassa
▪︎Akwete
▪︎Arabade (later, 1977)♥️
Others....
Also Rex Lawson and His Rivers Men work (I thought he was a Ghanaian but he was a Nigerian.)
Some of a few immortalized Nigerian artists.
My music collection started with Igbo, Yoruba, Congolese, Ghana, Conakry Guinean, Kenyan and South African dancing hits.
Amen

Great man and son of the Benin royal family. The mother was a great princess of Benin. May his soul rest in peace.

Sir Victor Uwaifo was one of the musicians that made my good old days at Enugu as a boy in early 1965 before the war. The music is like a bood tonic to my life in old age now.

[zenabubawah]

One of the greatest legends. Great music, never age. So awesome. Stunning compilation. These were the real musicians. thanks for sharing these classic memorable songs.

[efosaobazee]

A wonderful legend that played and performed all through out his life. A quintessence of African arts and music.

[sunnyadebayo]

Sir Victor Uwaifo is a living legend. He introduced twin guitar to music and his command of musical instruments - flute, piano, guitar etc is legendary. He must have started music as an Arts student at the Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria back in the 60s. His contemporaries at the time were the late Eddie Okonta, Victor Olaiya, Rex Jim Lawson, Adeolu Akinsanya (Baba Eto) to mention a few. His music was well sought-after by the movers and shakers of Lagos then particularly at Night Clubs. I didn't understand the lyrics but eh, who cares? The rhythm and the melody were enough for me. Long may you live, The Legend!

The only complete artist in Africa and one of the very few in the world. A composer, singer, a multiinstrumentalist, painter, sculptor and inventor. I hope we will really appreciate him before he leaves this side.

This man is too much, i remember all this songs as a child in the 60s to 70s.

Though late now, God bless him real good.

Sir Victor Uwaifo is one of the greatest and one of the most talented guitarist in the whole world. He ranks very high in and Africa with the congolese and best in Nigeria. He eats, drinks, sleeps and even bath the GUITAR. Daddy Uwaifor, may you live very long for the world to continue to enjoy the 'GUITAR BOY' (Prof. M. A. Okungbowa)
