The Oriental Brothers International Band of Nigeria was a popular Igbo highlife boy band from Nigeria [based in Owerri] for several decades, known for their powerful lyrics (whether it be of proverbs, or specials being dedicated to special people in the country of Nigeria), and deft instrumental work (whether of the lead guitar, or the conga man’s professional play of the congas in their break sections of songs) with their unique style of highlife.

The Original Oriental Brothers International consisted of five members; Godwin “Kabaka” Opara [leader of the band, and rhythm guitarist], Chief Christogonus “Dr. Sir Warrior” Ezewuiro Obinna [vocalist, also know as Ultimate Dr. Sir Warrior from 1993-’96], Ferdinand “DanSatch” Chukwuemeka Opara [Founder, lead guitarist, bass player till 1976 when self-titled album, featuring song “Murtala Mohammed,” released], Livinus Akwịla (spelt “Aquila” in English) Alaribe [conga player and maraca player], and finally, Fred “Ichita” Ahumaraeze [drummer].

Later members came at the time of the band being, such as Charles Boumda, Aloysius (Aloy) Anyanwu, and Tony Awoma [who was apart of the band with Satch in the beginning before the band formed, but left because he could not stay in one place].
