DELE BAMGBOYE + EBUN

Woohoo!!! Okay so apart from the useless nonsense that seem to find its way around once in a while, words cannot actually describe the feeling I have right now. I mean, I don't even know how to explain it! I could scream but then people here would think I've gone crazy; although some people think I've gone beyond that level already. I could also just start crying but I think for this case, it'll be just a lil bit over the top (I said just a lil lol).

What is it that I'm going on and on about? Check me out... while trying to obtain some of the CDs from my wishlist (yes I have one and don't pretend you don't know cause I know you see it on the right side over there; yes over there), yours truly found a CD she has been wondering about for a couple of years. Anybody remember Dele Bamgboye at all?!?!

I digress for a sec... I remember the other day one of her songs, Mago Mago, came into my head and I just started singing whatever lyrics I could remember. And then I was like "Dang, long time. Who even sang that song?" Can you imagine, I couldn't even remember her name! Then I started remembering most of the other songs and then that's when it hit me - OMG, I miss my cousins from my mother's side (lol)!!! It was at their house I first heard about Dele and by the time the week was over (cause we went over for a mini vacation type thing), I pretty much had every song down in my head.

Alright back to what I was saying: yes o, I've found my Inspiration CD by Dele Bamgboye!!! I even had to update my wishlist with it just so I can keep telling myself that I've finally found it and I have it for sure for sure. My mom is definitely going to think that I have some type of power this time. Cause she said everytime she "turns around", I seem to have songs that she remembers from way back when or songs that are just like "whoa". LOL hey her words not mine.

Can someone please tell her for me that you can pretty much find just about anything online nowadays. Just make sure you mention something about sending in the payment cause she tries to avoid anything online payment. Can't say that I blame her jare when her *I mean our* people have turned the world into their yahoozee playground. HISS. I'm just thankful for all these people who are making these extinct artists available again. I mean that CD was released when? In the 80s? Early 90s? And back then, it was only available on cassette. Cassette. Kai

Anywhoo, I also hear she's now a Pastor in one of the Winner's Chapel branch in Ghana or somewhere like that. True or not? God bless and prosper her very well o. I'm still appreciating her work up till today. Okay so you might be wondering where I found the CD right? Yeah I know, don't worry I'll tell you lol. Audio Lunch Box is the place and I still don't know how I even found the website. I was finally looking to buy my Benita Okojie CD (which I got, as well as her sophmore one too) when I figured maybe it would be best to click on the African Genre link to see what else was available and then BAM! Dele Bamgboye right there staring right back at me.

I was kinda skeptical at first to buy the songs cause in the very beginning I thought I was getting the physical CDs (yes o my people start patronizing your people by buying originals!) but then duh, the website is called audio lunch box, what was I thinking??? Mehn after debating for only God knows how long, I decided to make peace with the fact that at least I'm still supporting by buying the tracks, CD-R or not. It's all good jare. So I can't wait to download the songs, copy them, and start burning a hole into my car CD player hehehe!

So to really show how grateful I am, I'm dedicating this post to my baby sister Ebunoluwa Oseaghume Akindele.

09/03/1991 - 05/19/2000. Dang, eight years today and it still feels like yesterday! I celebrate your life; you were just too much for this world abeg. Apart from the fact that I think you were God's gift to those who knew and loved you, I guess God wanted you almost right back cause He was really in need of someone with some correct dance moves while His angels praise Him. OMG, I think I just had an epiphany about something, with that statement I just made. RIP baby girl!!!
