Fuji music maestro, General Kollington Ayinla (also known as Kebe Kwara) has said that Portable’s Zazu ought not to be played on the radio or on TV.
In his words: “Such songs with nothing to better a lot of the youths. He (Portable) sang ‘Zazu’- a song style I released in 1981.
“Such songs with nothing to better a lot of the youths ought not to be played on the radio or on TV.
“But nowadays it is all about melody and street madness and not music that will last and impact on the society.”
The fuji maestro noted that lyrical contents and the essence of music are fast diminishing in the country.
He called on musicians to create music that will have a positive effect on society.
Ayinla noted that despite the poor contents being produced today, musicians get massive acceptance from music lovers.
He said: “Musicians don’t care about the lyrics of their music anymore and the lessons that people ought to learn from their songs.
“In lyrics like Ori e o Foka sibe, someone called himself Were Olorin (referring to Portable).
“He said in his song, ‘Were Adugbo wo ilu o’ meaning the mad man of the streets has come o. And unfortunately, people are dancing to it. Are they improving the community or they are adding to the problems?”
