Orlando Owoh (born Stephen Oladipupo Olaore Owomeyela; 14 February 1932 – 4 November 2008)[1] was a Nigerian highlife musician and band leader of Yoruba Yoruba Tribes origin.
His father hailed from Ifon, Ondo State, while his mother was from the town of Owo.
As a young man Owoh initially entered into the carpentry trade until 1958, when he was hired by Nigeria's Kola Ogunmola Theatre Group to play drums and sing.
With bands such as the Omimah Band and later the Young Kenneries and the African Kenneries International, Owoh remained popular in Nigeria, even as tastes moved to the newer jùjú and fuji styles.
Orlando Owoh died on 4 November 2008 and was laid to rest at his Agege residence in Lagos, Nigeria.
