I am from Uganda and don’t understand the language they are singing in, but I feel the vibes. I can’t stop listening to this Joromi song. It is addictive like falling in love with the most beautiful woman because you can’t just get enough of her. The solo guitar, bass guitar and the konga drum were played with utmost passion, love and professionalism. This is a genius song writing and composition. Victor Uwaifo is trully a Nigerian and African music legend.

It’s March 2024 and I’m here to listen to a legend. Truly Music does not need permission to enter your soul.

Makes remember my childhood. We lived very close to him in Benin, I still remember walking past his house every morning on my way to school. He had different sculptures around his house. This song won the golden disc award, equivalent to the Grammies in the mid sixties. A talented musician way ahead of his time. In my opinion he is best guitarist ever, could do almost anything with the guitar. A legend!

An inventor, artist, sculptor, engineer and Professor combined! I can’t think of any era in human history that has produced a genius like this man. Goodbye Prof. Victor Uwaifo; you made Africa proud!

Nostalgic this was the music my parents danced to during their courtship in those day. This year marks their 50th wedding anniversary.

The pride of Benin. The maestro, the ever first Africa song with a gold disc. This man is everything in one form. He can do everything as far as the instrument concern. Joromi is one of the most remix songs all over the world.

i'm not an 80's kid...but i hear my mum singing this when i was little so it got stuck in my head...all hail Benin city

After six decades of superlative performance, the octogenarian and quintessential artiste has gone to rest 😭.

Wow! Nothing surpasses the original. This is what brings bk the memories. I think this song was bigger in Ghana even than in Nigeria. We didn't understand the words but what did it matter? The music was all.

Good old days

I am not even from Edo but my love for this song made me search for it, thank God I found it.

This song was more popular in Ghana 🇬🇭 than Nigeria I bliv cuz at my tender age I’d hear my mum & granny’s sings it all day long!!! #Jeromi

Am Zambian and growing up in the 70s, we had this record which we used to play on our sanyo radiograme which had a brick sized battery. Fond memories.

Lovely song, I remember hearing it often growing up in Ondo. Good memories

To all lovers of GOOD music and especially our Uganda brothers this track is one of the many classics from the Maestro Himself-Sir Victor Uwaifo known in Nigeria as "Guitar Boy". He was in a class of his own. He bagged a Phd and became a Professor at the University of Benin before his passing. A true and worthy son of Edo Kingdom and Nigeria. RIP Legend

My father made me love highlife. The joy of listening to these oldies but goodies.....

I just read that Victor Uwaifo can play the guitar with both feet and with his TONGUE! Him and Oliver De Coque (R.I.P) were Nigeria's guitar legends!!! THIS IS A CLASSIC!!!

Our closest neighbours_Nigerians. I don't understand but it's just so nostalgic !!!! So much love from Cameroon

Wow! My late dad's favourite! I pray he rest in peace. Rest in peace dad, this one is for you. I still love you. Always will. Enjoy dad.

This song was part of my childhood. 🎸 it played from the wooden transistor radio with the upholstery covered amplifier on a bright Saturday afternoon, while the palm-nut soup was bubbling on the fire, and the sound of fufu pounding synced in harmony. 🇬🇭Afrika sweet oooo 🎶🇬🇭💃🏾🕺🏾💃🏾🕺🏾🎵 TFS 👌🏾😊

This man is not dead because he is still ruling the world from his grave through his unique style of music.

RIP sir victor uwaifo... listening to this from canada and remembering Benin...

A multi-instrumentalist, his versatility with musical instruments is second to none. Notably the Guitar, Flute and Keyboard

I finally found the song! Thank God!😭

goodbye prof but Nigeria is proud of you

As a child growing up in Lagos , I loved this song so much. Hello Didn’t understand a word, classic. Legend.

The first Nigerian song to go platinum. In 1963 it sold over 100 thousand copies.

WELL this song was really big in Ghana in the 80's and we really enjoyed to the fullest.tRUE AFRICAN DARLING SONG

I listened to this around 1967, I lived in Ibadan, Nigeria from '61 - '66, and a family friend sent this and others to us after we got back to England. Great Music!

Am Igbo can’t hear what he is saying but can’t stop listening to it Ok is hear that zlantan larn gbese gbese

Can our generation ever fill the shoes of our fathers ?

Bini language is so sweet. My partner is from Benin City he showed me this song and I just loved it so much, sweet song and very good vibes

I feel I reincarnated from a previous life,I don’t understand why I so much love old Highlife songs,I’m an old school and new school kinda guy. My playlist can be really annoying,most people just don’t understand my taste of songs. I have lived here before😆❤️❤️

This song at the Kingsway... In Kumasi ... in 1965... How many times I have enjoy it!!!

The great uwaifo I can't stop loving you

Uh oh i learned that Joromi was a warrior (wrestler) who battled and defeated all possible rivals on earth.

2020 and I am remembering this from Christmas Dance ,1966 in Star Hotel Accra Ghana. Great night.

If you hear this song in 14 years ago and my grandfather always play this and tell us a story 😢💔 Rest on mom,dad, Gandfather too 😪😥

One of the icons who pushed the envelope and gave birth to the younger generation of Nigerian musicians. Rest in power Sir!! God bless on your way to higher plains! Amen.

Thanks dad for introducing me to this song. From Benin City with 💙.

OUR PRESENT BUNCH OF MUSICIANS NEEDS TO STEP UP THEIR GAME TO MATCH UP WITH THESE LEGENDS!!!

Just heard the Sad News Rest in peace sir, you will be missed

One of my best Benin songs as an Benin girl❤️❤️🇳🇬I too like am

An old classic I've been looking for forever. Thanks to a DJ at a wedding last week I now have this song to my collection.

Aah Naija, that sweeeeet Nigerian highlife sound.....very much a part of my now nostalgic childhood! Mayibuye....Come back Africa, come back Nigeria.

Sir Victor Uwaifo is a living legend

Early 70's Nigeria. Thanks for uploading

Who is here after the news of his passing to listen to this song again

My dad made me fall in love with this man and his music. He will, play, sing, and dance alongside this great tune every morning and especially on weekends. My dad is also called, Victor. I guess that might have contributed greatly to his love for the legend Sir Victor Uwaifo. As matter of fact, most of his army mates referred to him as, Victor Uwaifo! RIP Dad 🙏🏿💓💖💓🙏🏿

One of the foundamental structures of ecowas , pure jamah

RIP SIR VICTOR UWAIFO

What year is this song? Does anybody knows? My father used to play this song when we were little. Now today I hear this song in my dreams. Weird!

If you have not seen Uwaifo's website, you ought to. It makes me pretty happy. One of his listed hobbies on wikipedia is 'raising other people's children.' what a dude.

Not from 9ja but stumbled on this and been bumping to it since 2018. Its the kind of sound i've always wanted to hear bud didn't know where to find it. I'm thankful

Sir Victor Uwaifo is the greatest highlife guitarist.

I am 61 today and do remember this classic from my childhood!!RIP Professor Baba Victor Uwaifo!

Just heard this track tonight at a Ata Kak gig. I'm going to listen to this for good. And so is my little boy.

that guitar solo was unbelievable , Got to be one of the best I've ever heard

Ever green music for matured minds, up till now I can not be tired of this music. It refreshed my soul.

Oooops I thought this was Ghanaian lol this is one of the classics that are revived in Ghanaian parties grrrrrrrrrr geswe

i have the tears of joy when i listen this old good music

This man is a jack of all and master of all. I won’t be surprised if he was once a lawyer. My dad once kept a newspaper from 60s when this man was an athlete/model…

Rest in Peace Sir Victor Uwaifo; you were simply legendary!!!

Proudly Benin, I remember the story attached to this song...... Memories.... 😔

Nostalgic.... I don’t even know how to feel 😩.

Old memories coming to us anew! What a great historical hit of a song. Playing this song I used my right leg with my right hand fingers on it as Sir Dr Victor Uwaifor's guitar and friend said to me what you look so happier today!

Wow, gone are the days,memory lives on!!

I remember when my dad used to sing this.. He's late now.. Rest in Power dad

A reminder of my late uncle Mr. A. Magretta. He had a record and used to play at Kanjedza, Limbs, Malawi in mid 1970's. RIP

This is infact the lovely way we grew up and it's really going down the memory lane

A Glorious Transition. 🎸🎸Sir Prof.Victor Uwaifo was unique in many ways. 🎸🎸*He was a famous and well celebrated Musician, Sculpture, Artist, Arts collector, Museums owner, erudite Professor, song writer, Guitar Boy, historian and winner of many local and international awards, and recognitions.etc. *He recently celebrated his 80 year Birthday Anniversary. 🎸The Joromy King was recently recording a new song tittled "Halleluyah" . 👏🏻May his great soul rest in perfect peace. 🙏🏻May God comfort his family, friends and fans. Adieu Ekassa King. 👏🏻Shalom Shalom. GAF.

I always thought this was a Ghanaian song. We used to sing it in Akan as “Ny3 menkoa na me p3 joromi” Which translates to I’m not the only one who like joromi.. I always thought burna boy stole Gbeze Gbeze from us.. ohh Niaja, what have we done to you??

Allegedly a favourite of Nkrumah.

Wow.... enjoying the melody

SISTER KELEN, MY AUNTIE KELEN DAITEY, YOU ARE BEING REMEMBERED THIS AFTER FROM LONDON.I MISS YOU SO MUCH

Oldies one can appreciate and just swing to..... loved those moments though I was very young

RIP legend

Great multi instrumentalist musician, inventor, artist and sculptor! A truly remarkable man! Sincere sympathy to the entire family. May God grant his soul peaceful rest! 🙏🏽✝️
