I was planning a `collabo’ with Ras Kimono before his death–Ara
Late Kimono
Aralola Olumuyiwa, the talking drummer,“Gangan’’ said that she was planning to have a musical collaboration with the late Ras Kimono before his death.
She told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the `colabo’ would have included Majek Fashek and other reggae musicians.
Aralola, popularly called Ara on stage, said this while expressing her shock over the death of the Reggae Rastaman.
“I was still planning a collaboration with Ras Kimono, Majek Fashek and other reggae musicians.
“When I discussed it with him, he told me to wait for him to return from his trip to the United States of America but he never went.
“ His death hits me badly because he was such a humble and kind hearted fellow. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” she said.
She said that this was because the Reggae musician had bid the world farewell unannounced.
Ara also said that she met Ras Kimono last week at Sir Shina Peter’s 60th birthday bash and he was looking good.(NAN)
