Godwin Sadoh writes:

Late Nigerian organist-composer, Ayo Bankole, would have been 80 today. I honor the octogenarian with these two essays:
 
"A Tribute to Ayo Bankole (1935-1976) on His 80th Birthday." The Diapason 1266, No. 5 (May 2015): 27-29.
"Ayo Bankole at 80." Musical Times (Spring 2015): 73-88.
 
 
Godwin Sadoh!
