An Insight Into C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s Costume!

An Insight into C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s Costume!

Depending on how they are used, clothes can be combined and worn to reveal a part of our identity. It is fair to say that clothing and fashion are forms of communication that are exclusive to human beings. Through them, we convey our taste and lifestyles, and acquire a sense of belonging to a group.

The clothes we wear tell stories of our culture and our heritage. That is, things that can’t easily be shrugged on and taken off at will. Tradition is also passed down in the creation and construction of our clothes. The way things are made, the materials, and the process, are all embedded into our communities and cultures.

Every artist be it Secular or Gospel has a peculiar dressing style that is known to be their trademark. This dress code in most case is associated with the Artist style of music and their fans also tries to dress like them.

C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan dress code is peculiar to them in that the C.A.C. Church in Ibadan and District, has a very strict dress code for all their ministers and members. For example, women are not allowed to wear earring, makeup, wear wig/weave on, neck chain, trouser, bangle, short skirt etc.

This formed the basis by which C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan clothing/costume is based. This is because Cultural traditions are a way to pass down important history, beliefs and values while Religious traditions help reinforce connection with the respective deities.

Fashion is a powerful form of self-expression that communicates our identity to the world. The personal style allows us to showcase our personality, interest and values. Fashion can also serve as a means of cultural expression, honouring traditions and preserving heritage.

So to a large extend, C.A.C. Good Women Choir clothing/dressing has always been in line with the authority of the church Supreme Council which found expression in the way the leader of the choir and other choir members dresses.

This is why if we look at the artwork cover of all the albums of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan, we will see that the dressing conform to the Church’s Council instruction.

Every members of the choir and Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin the arrow head of the choir were consistent with maintaining this identity of the Church through their dressing. At times, they feel out of place and under immense pressure to compromise but because of their resolute to maintain the integrity of the church, they continue to abide by the church instruction.

INSIGHT INTO THE CYCLE OF C.A.C. GOOD WOMEN CHOIR RECORDS

INSIGHT INTO THE CYCLE OF C.A.C. GOOD WOMEN CHOIR RECORDS

When the leadership of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan and District received the leading of the Holy Spirit to start waxing record in 1976, the decision was communicated to C.A.C. Church Council and approval was given to the Choir to go ahead. This made the Leadership of the Choir to start making contact to some of the existing marketer of that time including Ibukun Orisun-Iye Records Label.

Out of all the marketers approached by the leadership of the Choir, only Ibukun Orisun-Iye showed the willingness to gamble on the Choir. This was because C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan members were all female and prior to that time no female Choir has ever wax a record in the history of Nigeria Gospel Industry.

So on Apri,l 1977, the Choir went to the studio (DECCA West Africa) to record their maiden album titled “Halleluyah Ale”. After which “Mo Nwoju Olorun, Kaye Koyo, Odun Nlo Sopin, Odun Yi Atura and other 20 album were recorded and all these albums were produced by the same Record Label “Ibukun Orisun-Iye.

At that time, records were played on gramophone or turntable.

A record is a round, flat piece of black plastic on which sound, especially music, is stored, and which can be played on a record player. You can also refer to the music stored on this piece of plastic as a record. The platter is the spinning surface on which the vinyl record rests during playback. A high-quality turntable platter helps maintain consistent speed and reduces vibrations, resulting in a clearer and more accurate sound. Within the realm of vinyl records, the terms “turntable” and “record player” often emerge, and while they may seem synonymous, these two audio devices possess distinct characteristics. A record or vinyl is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove.

It is of great importance to note that all C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan 25 album were produced at Decca West Africa using Vinyl technology as available at that time. But as technology improves and Vinyl became obsolete, the albums production graduated into Audio Cassette, then it moves to Audio Compact Disc and Video Compact Disc, which later made way for Content Download and most recently Streaming from various Digital Stores Worldwide.

The above shows us that since 1977 when C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan led by Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin recorded their first album, there has been progressive technological evolutionary circles in the industry. If the Choir had not follow the evolutionary trend, perhaps probably they would have been swept away and long forgotten. But thanks to visionary leadership.

Did You Know That Mama D.A. Fasoyin Is Also An Actress?

Did You Know That Mama D.A. Fasoyin is Also An Actress?

Introduction

Mama D.A. Fasoyin growing up in her native town Oyo has always been singing and acting with the St Michael’s Anglican Church Choir and Drama Group. The only thing is that she give much of her time to singing than acting.

At 84 years of age and out of Mama D.A. Fasoyin’s ministerial tight schedule, she still made out time to practice her second love which is acting by featuring in some Christian movies where she played a major/support roles.

The latest movie where she featured was titled “Man Overboard” written by Tope Ogundipe and was directed by Austine Awulonu.

The script was about an adulterous Pastor whose ego and pride destroy his family and ministry. The story also revealed the rotting and deceitful life of both the Pastor and his wife who always pretend to the outside world that all is well with them meanwhile, they need serious help.

Mama Fasoyin played the role of the Pastor’s wife mother who tries to constantly counsel her daughter to seek God’s intervention in her marriage but instead of seeking God’s intervention, the daughter  resorted to self-help which eventually backfire.

The unrepentant behavior of the Pastor and refusal to seek help even when was is obvious that he urgently needs one led to the death of both his last daughter and his ministry.

The movie “Man Overboard” is a reflection of what is happening today to some of our Pastors and General Overseer.

So if you say Mama Fasoyin is not only a gospel singer but also an actress, you are 100% correct.

Odun Nlo Sopin as a song which takes it source from Psalms 91 should not have been limited only to Yoruba tribe alone.

What Made Odun Nlo Sopin Album So Special?

What Made Odun Nlo Sopin Album So Special?

Introduction

As was the custom of the choir when preparing for any of their releases, they go to the mountain top to fast, pray and wait to hear from God before fixing a date with their producer. This was exactly what they did when they were about going for the recording of Odun Nlo Sopin Odun, there was no special arrangement or procedure for the album. Odun Nlo Sopin is a prayer song that solicit God’s supernatural protection for the person that listen to the song and by the grace of God, there has been so many testimonies home and abroad of people returning glory back to God for protection when they listen to the song. It is God’s grace that makes Odun Nlo Sopin stand out of the remaining 24 releases of C.A.C. Good Women Choir, Ibadan. When the song was recorded in 1979, the choir never knew that they were on the journey to making history and that the song will continue to be relevant even for decades and decades to come. And out of the 15 women that recorded Odun Nlo Sopin in 1979, only 5 including their leader are still alive. Perhaps it could be that God saw the resolute of these women to serve Him wholeheartedly even with their substances because back then, they do not go into the ministry because of financial gain but with the heart to serve God. This act, we believe is the reason God placed His hand on the song Odun Nlo Sopin and made it a Global Brand which will continue to be relevant from generation to generation. This is GREAT GRACE. For example, it came as a surprise to the choir when on the 15th October 1980 their producer informed them that they should come and collect the first royalty for Odun Nlo Sopin which was about N50,000.00 then. But because they were not money minded, they told their producer to use the money to buy musical instrument for the choir use. This was how the choir was able to acquire Davoli musical instrument, Toyota Coaster bus and a pickup van to convey their instruments. Odun Nlo Sopin album is a seven (7) powerful prayer tracks which has work wonders and will still continue to work more wonders in the lives of people. Glory be to God. Halleluyah!!!

Why Was C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed” Formed?

Why Was C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan "Seed" Formed?

Introduction

C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan started as a group with members number going to about 150. But as time goes by, the members number begin to reduce first to about 70 as a result of state creation in the then Oyo State. The members number again went down to about 10 as a result of old age and death.

However, as at January 2024, the surviving members of the choir are just 5 to the glory of God.


In the light of the above, an urgent need to fill this vacuum for continuity of the choir’s legacy is imperative.


This was why the leadership of the choir in one of their Annual Coventions appeal to the choir’s member children present at the covention who have passion to sing gospel music to please join the choir.

Although responses to this appeal was not that fantastic, but a few children of the choir’s eventually signifies their intention to join the group. This was the genesis of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed”


However, later some professional session men and backup singers were injected into the choir. These set of people serves as backup to the leader of the choir when she goes for church ministration and other Christian engagement.
