African music of the Old School tradition still inspires some of us.
Yes, we don't wear wires and walk the streets listening to hip-hop
iterations of lyrics. But the Old School we cherish -- from Ebenezer
Obey to Osita Osadebe could turn something inside you on!
Here is "ije Elu," inspired by Celestine Ukwu's song, "Ije Enu." The

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Obododimma.
