From his origins playing traditional music in the rural Nigerian region of Ijebu, Haruna Ishola rose to become one of Nigeria's most beloved talents. Today, almost 20 years after his death, he endures as one of the most revered artists in Nigeria. As referred to in the title, Apala, a rich and hypnotic blend of percussion and voices, provides a dark, earthy and compelling backbone for Ishola's voice. Powerful drums weave a deceptively melodic backdrop to he and his background singers' call and response vocals. Compiled from recordings early in Ishola's career, Apala Messenger is historically rich music from a more sophisticated age in Africa, and is a must for any serious fan of African music.
