Good morning beautiful people,

I'm happy to be here today with this week's presentation and I must say the topic for this week is one that I love soo much. Special shoutout to @bertrayo for choosing such a wonderful and thoughtful theme for this week. The theme for this week is Traditional Music and for people that know me closely, they will know I'm a traditional person to some extent. I love to uphold some of our dying cultures and listen to some of our traditional music. The world is changing now and the Woke culture is making people forget their roots and where they come from. Our culture and traditions shouldn't just be forgotten. Just as our ancestors passed it down to us, we should also try to pass it down unto our children. That's why this topic makes me so happy because it gives me an opportunity to showcase a traditional music from my Culture and that's Yoruba culture. Though this song is not directly from my tribe it's still a part of my Culture. Under Yoruba, there are other mini tribes below like Ondo, Okun, Ilaje and many others. I belong to the Okun tribe while this song belongs to the Ondo tribe.

The song was sang by a Nigerian musician called Teni. She's from the Ondo tribe and the song is a traditional song from her tribe so she used the song as the chorus while she composed the remaining part of this "Uyo Meyo" song. The chorus says "Uyo Meyo leu, o San o kan mi o e" which means "I have rejoiced with you, now its my turn for you to Rejoice with me". It's a song of hope that when you Rejoice with people, so people will also celebrate you and Rejoice with you. So it's important to wish others good and Rejoice with others instead of feeling jealousy or having bad thoughts towards them.

I had fun making this video and I do hope you enjoy it. The instrumental I used was gotten from here.

[Intro]
Dr. Dolor Entertaiment
Kajo kajo kajo

Uyo Meyo
O Uyo
Uyo Meyo leun o san o kan mi o e

[Verse 1]
Everybody’s born a winner
If only you just believe yea eh yeh eh
Close your eyes and come and see
Don’t you worry about a thing nah
Cause if you work hard
You can get it if you work
If you strive hard
You can be just what you want
If you work hard
You can climb the mountain tall
Cause nothing is too small
And nothing is too big

[Chorus]
Uyo Meyo
Uyo Meyo
O Uyo
Uyo Meyo leun o san o kan mi o e
Uyo Meyo
Uyo Meyo
Oh Uyo
Uyo Meyo leun o san o kan mi o e

[Verse 2]
What my eyes have seen, eyeh
Oun to ju mi ti ri ah, eyeh
Don’t let them tell you “You Can’t”
And they won’t help you, just so you know
Just keep on pushing oh oh uh oh

ESPANOL

Buenos días gente bella,

Estoy feliz de estar aquí hoy con la presentación de esta semana y debo decir que el tema de esta semana es uno que me encanta. Un saludo especial a @bertrayo por elegir un tema tan maravilloso y reflexivo para esta semana. El tema de esta semana es Música tradicional y para las personas que me conocen de cerca, sabrán que soy una persona tradicional hasta cierto punto. Me encanta defender algunas de nuestras culturas moribundas y escuchar algo de nuestra música tradicional. El mundo está cambiando ahora y la cultura Woke está haciendo que las personas olviden sus raíces y de dónde vienen. Nuestra cultura y tradiciones no deben simplemente ser olvidadas. Así como nuestros antepasados nos lo transmitieron, también debemos tratar de transmitirlo a nuestros hijos. Es por eso que este tema me hace tan feliz porque me da la oportunidad de mostrar una música tradicional de mi cultura y esa es la cultura yoruba. Aunque esta canción no es directamente de mi tribu, sigue siendo parte de mi cultura. Bajo Yoruba, hay otras mini tribus debajo como Ondo, Okun, Ilaje y muchas otras. Yo pertenezco a la tribu Okun mientras que esta canción pertenece a la tribu Ondo.

La canción fue cantada por un músico nigeriano llamado Teni. Ella es de la tribu Ondo y la canción es una canción tradicional de su tribu, por lo que usó la canción como coro mientras componía la parte restante de esta canción "Uyo Meyo". El coro dice "Uyo Meyo leu, o San o kan mi o e", que significa "Me he regocijado contigo, ahora es mi turno para que te regocijes conmigo". Es una canción de esperanza de que cuando te regocijas con la gente, la gente también te celebrará y se regocijará contigo. Por lo tanto, es importante desear el bien a los demás y regocijarse con los demás en lugar de sentir celos o tener malos pensamientos hacia ellos.

Me divertí haciendo este video y espero que lo disfruten. El instrumental que utilicé lo obtuve de aquí.

Thank you so much for your amazing comment.🙏🙏🙏.

It's been a very busy and exhausting week for me. I barely have time to even stay online that long that's why it's been quite challenging engaging but I always make sure to do that whenever I'm a bit free. Just like I just did now.

Will keep trying my best. I do appreciate your content once again.
