Opalade sells Nigeria with Yoruba folk songs
Opalade |
Foluke Iyabode Opalade is one
Nigerian who’s currently doing the country proud through her worldwide
performances of Ijala and Aro dialects of Yoruba folk music.
A music graduate of the
prestigious OAU, she explained that as a little girl, she was inspired to folk
music because she used to listen to her father’s albums of musicians like Dauda
Epo Akara, Ayinla Omo Wura and many others and they left an indelible mark on
her.
Disclosing that she’s happy
flying Nigeria’s flag worldwide through her performances, she disclosed that
she was lucky that her parents supported her singing ambition, as the norm back
then was that parents preferred their children to aspire to allegedly more
responsible professions like medicine, engineering and so on.
Keep flying high, ma’am.
