Listen!

I,K. Dairo, MBE
"Alabiyamo Eku Ewu"
from the album I Remember (Music of the World)

He was one of the progenitors of Juju music in Nigeria, a champion of the culture, and yes, an accordion player! This song celebrates motherhood, specifically the wonder of the nine months of pregnancy.

This is just a short segment from the full 17 minute piece.

Andy Frankel Remembers I.K. Dairo, who died in 1996.
