One of the beautiful moments of musical entertainment is singing and dancing in one's dialect or culture. This type of music is mostly traditional form of music although nowadays evolved based on advancement in technology. Music in one's dialect/culture is the foremost form of music since the existence of man and still in vogue till today. As a Nigerian of the southwestern origin, there are certain traditional music and artistes i grew up to know who are my favorites because of how melodious their music is, good combination of vocals, skillful instrumental display and their meaningful lyrical content.
One of my favorite song is that sang by Chief Ebenezer Obey popularly called "Obey Commander" in one of his evergreen music titled "Ketekete" meaning horse. This song is a narrative story of a horse, a man and his son depicting the insatiable nature of man. I found this story true and applicable in life because it's practically impossible to satisfy everyone and infact in economic studies, human needs are described as insatiable. This song is truly an evergreen sang and accepted by many especially the oldies and the song is full of practical wisdom. Chief Ebenezer Obey has produced many songs which are evergreen and he is renowned for his skillfulness in playing the guitar 🎸.
Ko sogbon to le da
Ko si wa to le wu
Ko sona to le mo
To le fi daiye lorun o
Similarly, another favourite song in my dialect is titled "Appreciation" as sang by one of the foremost and reknown musician in my country in person of King Sunny Ade. "Appreciation" is a song of gratitude to God for His benevolence and kindness to we humans. Truly, it takes a thoughtful heart to give thanks to God. I so much like this song by its thought provoking lyrics which is so meaningful and also with its perculiar danceable instrumentals. King Sunny Ade is also famous for his prowess in playing guitar 🎸 and has sang on many platforms and occasions both locally and internationally.

Both are the choicest even in performance at functions, events and occassions involving dignitaries because they are record breakers and have proven that indigenous/traditional music is indeed a great form of music to be appreciated anyday anytime.
