Nigerian musician

Abibu Oluwa was a Nigerian musician who was an early exponent of the Yoruba musical genre, Sakara. He is regarded as the first breakout start of musical genre music. Oluwa was prominent in the late 1920s and 1930s when he recorded for Odeon, HMV and Parlophone Records. His recordings with Odeon were one of the earliest Yoruba musical recordings; he sang many praise songs of Lagos elites of his time.

Sakara musicians Yusuf Olatunji and Lefty Salami were members of his band. Olatunji joined his band in the late 1920s.
