Born in 1942, named Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi
He began his professional career in the 50’s after tutelage under “Fatai Rolling Dollar” another popular lagos musician.
He formed the band “International Brothers” in 1964 which later evolved into “Inter-reformers” in the 70s
Obey began experimenting with Yoruba percussion style and expanding on the band by adding more drum kits and talking drums. Obey’s musical strengths lie in weaving intricate Yoruba axioms into dance floor compositions. As is characteristic of Nigerian Yoruba social circle music, the Inter-Reformers band excel in praise singing for rich Nigerian socialites and business tycoons. Obey, however, is also renowned for christian spiritual themes in his music and has since the early 1990s retired into Nigerian gospel music ministry.
On this album he says ” Aiyee wa atooro” meaning “our lives shall experience progressive success; as confession after offering prayers to the God of heaven. One thing you would enjoy from such music asides the lyrics (if you understand them) is the harmonization of the strings and the drums. Some of his titles are even popular sang in churches today.

Gangan, Talking Drum
The talking drum is one of the oldest musical instruments used by master drummers. It’s a highly stylized instrument that has its origin in the West African regions of Africa. The drum can be found in Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, and Nigeria. It is prominent among the Yoruba ethnic group but can be found in neighboring Nigerian countries like Togo and Benin Republic
The drums are carved out of tree trunks and are made having an hourglass shape with long leather tension cords attached from the drum head to the base of the drum.
The crown or top side is usually made out of stretched animal skin pulled taut, which covers a hollow midsection; the drum could have a single membrane or double skinned and comes in varied sizes, depending on the origin and function.
