King Sunny Ade and his African Beats presents the old classic Omode Omela mp3 download of the G. M. A album. Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye MFR, known professionally as King Sunny Adé, is a Nigerian jùjú singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.
King Sunny Ade’s Omode Omela is a deep and poetic Yoruba juju song, filled with proverbs and wisdom. Like much of his music, this one is philosophical, passing messages about life, intelligence, and the unpredictable nature of people.
The phrase “Omode o Mela” suggests a reference to youth and inexperience, while “Olohun Mela katakata” hints at the supreme being (Olohun) as the one who understands the confusion of life. The song uses metaphors of animals—dogs, leopards, and birds—to symbolize the different ways people navigate life. It talks about wisdom, the importance of foresight, and how some people fail to understand deeper truths.
