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.
