Zaragemca's bongos,congas,timbales and Bata. - Page 4 - Jazz Bulletin Board Apala's greatest popularizer was no doubt the celebrated praise singer Haruna Ishola, who recorded and sold millions of records between 1955 and his death in 1983. Ishola's apala mostly relies on two popular Yoruba rhythms, one slow and sensuous, the other fast and percolating. His lyrics draw on traditional proverbs, improvised praise and the Koran to arrive at a potent brew--so potent, in fact, that Ishola's praise was said to have the power to kill the person being praised, if taken in too strong a dose. forums.allaboutjazz.com /showthread.php?p=119176   (3728 words)

Haruna Ishola : Apala Messenger - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect Much like Cuban Santeria and Haitian vodoun, the music of Nigeria's Yoruba tribe is believed to have mythical powers, either to heal or to curse. In Yorubaland, Chief Haruna Ishola's brand of Apala music is treated with the same reverence typically reserved for the Orishas -- the Yoruba pantheon of deities -- and it was believed that his singing was so powerful it could kill its intended recipient if not properly restrained. This compilation reveals the reasons behind Ishola's status as a national icon, with powerful praise songs that thrive on little more than throbbing percussion and Ishala's hearty baritone leading call-and-response vocals. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,1124004,00.html   (207 words)
