Iba se Baba Olantunji, I wish you well on your journey into the realm of
the ancestors. May you be welcomed there with open arms. I pray that you
will find a place of honor as you return home and sit once again at the
feet of the Creator.

The tears I shed are tears of joy baba mi for your long life and the joy
you have brought to us with your music. In times of trouble I have been
inspired by "Sango" and the passion you put into that. May you always
be remembered and have your ashe called upon from those of us left here
in the marketplace.

Sango! Oni bode a ala oh la la
SangoOOOOOO!!!!!!! Oni bode a ooo laaaaa


Through the flames of Sango, one is either transformed or burned.
