Details:
Born in Ibadan, the largest city in Africa, Tope Alabi, a.k.a., "oore ti o common," (uncommon favour), is a force to reckon with in the Nigerian gospel music. With a smooth, silky voice, Tope, has grown to be one of the most important female artists in the world. Tope started singing as early as age seven, taking after her mother who was a church chorister. Tope began her show business career as a teenager when she ran away from home to join a popular comedy group, "Jacob & Papalolo," in Ibadan, as an actress. Tope left the group when "Jacob," an important founding member of the group, passed on to the Great Beyond. She later worked with other popular travelling and stage theater groups in both Ibadan and Lagos. With a style that is unusually folksy, bluesy, and jazzy, Tope, in her evergreen and ever-flourishing career, has single-handedly scored about 90 (ninety percent) of the movies in the Yoruba film genre of Nigeria. As a matter of fact, many Yoruba film lovers would not even support any Yoruba film producer whose credit line-up does not include a "music by Tope Alabi." A multi-platinum recording artist with numerous awards, Tope metamorphosed into gospel music after she became a born-again Christian. And she has not looked back ever since.
