Emperor Olateju's Son, Dare set to tread on his father’s path

Ludareh

It’s no longer news that children of great Nigeria music legends are stepping out to continue the good work their fathers have done to promote Nigeria indigenous music,which promotes real happiness, satisfaction and uplift the hearts for greater cultural orientation. but to manys' surprises most of these music icon's children are taking into other genres of music especially hip hop, reasons are best known to them but very few children of these legends ever thought of adding value to what their folks had done and probably take it to the next level.

Musicans like Femi, Seun and Yeni Kuti; Tolu Obey; Musiliu Haruna Isola and some few others have re-projected their fathers kind of music and they still give the vibes to their fans with a reminder of what theri forebears had done.

In the recent past, while some spring up to develop talent in live music, others have inherited music blood from their father.

Emperor Wale Olateju (a.k.a Sabada music creator) is a great and living Juju musician that has been able to transfer the Juju music blood to one of his children.

This genre of music is very common and it refreshes ones mind, but most of the promoters like King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Emperor WaleOlateju, Sir Shina Peters, Segun Adewale, Dele Abiodun, amongst others are becoming fatigue and needs urgent replacement.

This is probably why this young man,called Oludare Olateju, one of Emperor Olateju's son has decided to stand and take up the challenges. Clearly from his approach to the trade, this young man has clearly identified a need gap that should be filled to save juju music from extinction as well as fullfilling the wishes of the older generation of practioners.

Ludareh and his group have performed in numerous high profile parties and his always leaving the dignitaries and other attendees wonder if indeed we can start thinking of continutiy form the KSAs of this world.

I learnt Ludare is armed with more than just a first degree, the band has a state of the art equipment including a mobile generator, certainly this young man means business.
