Come Sunday, 30th<\/sup> of April, 2017, City People Entertainment, an arm of the City People Media Techniques would host Abideen Olatunji who is the grandson of popular Nigerian Sakara drum player, the Late Yusif Olatunji.<\/p>\n The event would hold at the City People Event Centre located at the City People Corporate Office, 2 Otunba Shobowale Close, Charly Boy Bus Stop, Gbagada, Lagos. Event kicks off by 2PM and it promises to be a fun with Abideen Olatunji live on stage as he sings some of his grandfather\u2019s music.<\/p>\n Yusuf Olatunji, also known as Baba Legba or Baba L\u2019Egbaa (1909-1978), was a Nigerian Sakara drum player, who popularized the sakara music style. He was purportedly born in 1909 in a village called Gbegbinlawo in Ogun State in south-western Nigeria, although there are still doubts about the location of his birth. His mid-life conversion to Islam boosted his career in Yoruba music. He was born a Christian and he hailed from Iseyin in Oyo State. He was formerly known as Joseph Olatunji.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n He died in December 15, 1978. He is survived by 4 children and 14 wives.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \n For more enquiries, contact \u2013 08055001795 (SMS ONLY) \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Come Sunday, 30th of April, 2017, City People Entertainment, an arm of the City People Media Techniques would host Abideen Olatunji who is the grandson of popular Nigerian…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[5773,146,5774,5772],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-04-17-at-08.12.04-1.jpeg?fit=800%2C355&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":173259,"url":"https:\/\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/my-grandad-taught-me-how-to-play-sakara-music-in-my-dream\/","url_meta":{"origin":16085,"position":0},"title":"My Grandad Taught Me How To Play Sakara Music In My Dream","author":"Jamiu Abubakar","date":"June 29, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"\u2022Late YUSUF OLATUNJI's\u00a0 Grandson, ABIDEEN YUSUF OLATUNJI Abideen Ajasa Yusuf Olatunji is a Sakara Music star.
