Ayo Bankole accompanying Christopher Oyesiku
Prof. Godwin Sadoh writes:
ON THIS DAY--November 6, 1976: Nigerian organist-composer, Ayo Bankole (sr.) and his wife Toro,
were both brutally murdered in the early hours while sleeping in
their own bedroom, by his own half brother. Bankole
attended a concert the previous night (Nov. 5th) in which his very good
friend and colleague, Christopher Oyesiku sang his Yoruba arias.
May their souls continue to Rest in the bosom
of the Lord!!
