I sat there, two years ago lost in between some three thousand people when the MC mentioned the name Sensational Adeeko Bamidele. There was an eruption of shouts and excitement, the entire place vibrated and i wondered to myself, who on earth is this guy and why the excitement? It took Bamidele only about 6seconds to answer the question he didn't know i had asked when he got a hold of the microphone.
He describes himself as the oracle of Gods Praise. Really, only oracles can do what Sensational Bamidele does with his voice. Sensational Bamidele is like seasoning to a meal. I have been around music "consciously" for some 25 years of my life and i have never heard anybody sing like Bamidele.
Bamidele has perfected the use of riffs and runs and applies that to his rendition of the African music. The energy he exudes , his inflection, originality, ability to play with words and sounds is intimidating to say the least.
I think young acts should have Sensational Bamidele as a role model. If i were to write a book on Bamidele and his music i would title it "His height, His music height (the god singer).
