Kehinde, the twin sister of Taiwo of the Lijadu Sisters fame, dies in New York, the United States of America (USA), on Saturday morning, aged 71.
The deceased, who has been battling severe stroke, ruled the Nigerian music scene, along with her identical sister, from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. The identical sisters were cousins of the late maverick afrobeat icon, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Golden Oldies mourn the passage of Kehinde Lijadu for her contribution to Nigerian musical space.. We remember their evergreen classic Orere Elejigbo..
I grew up listening to this twin. I love them. They are so talented. Their songs ruled the airwaves. Songs that were folklores in nature.
May her soul rest in peace. May God comforts her sis, Taiwo and the family. Their bro, Mr Ayo Lijadu is a friend on my list.
I just remembered. He acts in Tinsel. God will comfort you sir. He will give you the fortitude to bear the loss. Take heart.
