Sunday Tunes: Olaiya's Evil Genius Highlife.
Greetings Hive Music Lovers!!!
Music never fails. It always butters the heart of its listeners with different genres, which was derived from the ancient world of using sticks on things or blowing air into some sort of wood or iron.
In time, music instruments advanced, and the sounds became better and easier to play with electro uc gadgets still, and ancient songs still rocks. They give the ultimate full vibe needed to keep your feet off the ground. And, that's to tell you that no matter how old a music is, the music never dies. It is evergreen in the hearts of those who know it and the generation who are just coming in contact with it.
Therefore, today, I have brought you music Highlife from a known evil genius African Nigerian singer Victor Olaiya. But, before we proceed towards the chosen tunes of his, let's get to know who the genius truly is.
Evil Genius Victor?
Victor Abimbola Olaiya, also known as Dr Victor Olaiya, was a Nigerian trumpeter and bandleader who played in the highlife style.
He was born in the year 1930 in the month of December 31st, which means today is his birthday. However, he died in the year 2020 in the month of February 12th, which is just some days to a high celebrated Love Festival in the world.
Though famous in Nigeria during the 1950s and early 1960s, Olaiya received little recognition outside his native country. Therefore, I have brought him forward to be recognized by you, too. Let's celebrate his day.
Ilu Le O: Victor Olaiya.
"Ilu le o" which translates to the "country is hard" in Yoruba. He spoke about the need for money. The pains of the masses who struggle endlessly with little or nothing to take home.
The sound of the music gives me that feeling of something sad yet thrilling. Just by moving your legs and your waist, you'll do well with the music steps.
Baby Mi Da: Victor Olaiya Ft 2face.
Whine, twist and move your legs in a fun way. Let the beat lead you as you enjoy the song.
Close your eyes and feel the presence of the music. Don't stop dancing. Celebrate as we dive right into a new dawn.
Mr. Judge: Victor Olaiya.
Just the beat alone is enough to make me jigger. Haha. Dance, whine, and move. Enjoy the flow of the music.

Still yours truly,
Balikis.
Thanks for reading and listening.
Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
Hello @balikis , here are my good wishes for the year 2024 in Spanish:
Thank you so much. Año Nuevo mi amigo!
Ilu Le O: That rhythm is complicated, huh? Skill. I never got into hard core Jazz because my brain just doesn't "get it". An acquired taste, I think. Like Opera. Because of the technical skill that makes it great.
He's beautiful though. And yeah. "Life" isn't fair and it friggin' sucks. This is the norm. And this is the "Alchemy". Turning sh!t into art. And creativity for change <3
Baby Mi Da: Oh I like this one straight up. What a schexy beat :D Makes you want to dance with a someone up close, doesn't it! I think I may join Tinder again 😎 And it's your fault! 😆
I had to research btw, because his sound isn't "African" really. Was curious. This explains it!
Judge blow your horn 😆 That about says it all.
I actually came by to wish you Happy NY, angel. And now must thank you for, not only your beautiful connection last year, but the music! Only love <3
The moment I saw your name pop up, you should see the smile that took over my face and how warmth filled my heart.
I missed you, and I just need to know if you are better with your health and all.
Haha, it sure is. I am not a full fan of Jazz too but, I do appreciate any genre of music because I love music. Hehe.
Yes, it is the Alchemy we have to face. Friggin unnecessary drama.
Haha... it'll be nice seeing you with someone up close from... maybe, Tinder. Hehe.
Yes, that's why I stated he is an African Nigerian singer.. Hehe, it is home ... but not anymore seeing how
lifedeath happened.It sure did!
Thank you for this. This is an amazing gift to have on New Year's Day. I am grateful we connected, and I am looking forward to more of a full one mama bear. Happy New Year to you, too.
:)
Haw you.
My health. Eh... depends on what's happening stress wise and how much care I'm taking of myself. I just slept for days and days so full of beans today. I must pace myself! 🙄
Thank you, angel. I think it is what it is and we work around it. Hey ho... perhaps it'll pass in full. Perhaps it won't. One day at a time!
You too :D We stay connected. Don't worry. Be happy ;) ❤️
Haha... Well, just rest and work too. I know you'd do fine because you are strong and loved! I hope your clothing business is blooming. I'll love to see it!
Yes, one day at a time. You got it.
I sure will 😊.
I still haven't launched 😂
Technical issue. Brb with that!
Hugs and see you here soon again.

To tell you that I haven't heard of any of his songs is something shocking to me too because I used to hear of his name but never took time to listen to his songs. Wow. Those songs are truly evergreen and sweet. I still wonder why the word "evil genius" was added to his name. Was he evil during his time? Lol or that his style is extraordinary?
#dreemport
Wow, well...itbis nice you've got to hear him sing now.
They truly are. Oh yes, it was given to him by a journalist, which I suppose means he is damn good at what he does. Haha.
Yea, that's exactly what I thought too.
Hehe...that's very nice.
I've never heard about this artist but I must say, his singing style is quite unique.
#Dreemerforlife.
Yes. It sure is.
