One of the last media houses to
interview the legendary trado-modern music maker and instrumentalist
Fatai Rolling Dollar on Thursday, June 6 while he was hospitalised in
Lagos. Our award-winning photographer, Bayoor Ewuoso,
was also there to capture images of the ailing octogenarian musician on
his hospital bed. He spoke extensively about his health and optimism
about overcoming the malaise.
Unfortunately, it was not to be as
he died in the morning of Wednesday, June 12 at the age of 86. History
will remember him for his great contributions to music and for inspiring
a generation of traditional Nigeria music artistes.
