Bimi Ombale


I have come across his name several times but never bothered to read about him. I grew up listening to OK Jazz and Tabu Ley then later Koffi, Viva and then Wenge so never followed clan Zaiko.
Could someone enlighten me on this man. I followed an interview of Manuaku Waku Felly the old guitarist of Zaiko and it's from it i heard a bit of Ombale and how he was not wanted in Zaiko, how he left then they went to solicit him back because he was initially a drummer who then started singing in Zaiko but the old singers of Zaiko were not happy that's how he left etc........what's the full story?
