Osunlade (/oʊsᵿnˈlɑːdeɪ/; born March 13, 1969) is an American-born musician and music producer.
Osunlade was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He composed music for Sesame Street during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Afterward, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he worked with artists such as Patti Labelle and Freddie Jackson. After a stint there, he moved to New York, where he founded Yoruba Records. To date he has worked with such artists as Roy Ayers, Nkemdi, Salif Keita, and Cesária Évora. In 2006, he released an album titled Aquarian Moon, in 2007, he released an album titled Elements Beyond on the revived Strictly Rhythm Records, and, in 2009, he released the album Passage. He is a priest of the Yoruba religion of Ifá. Because of his beliefs, Osunlade's music has a deep spiritual root in Yoruba traditions that are also reflected in the name of his record label, album covers, and also the titles of some of the tracks he has remixed such as "Obatala y Oduduwa" and "Yemeya."

It's been a long time since I took a disco nap to get ready for "the club," but goddamit I did. Osunlade was in Amsterdam and I biked about eight miles AND took a ferry (roundtrip) to see him there. I scored a very intimate interview with him and asked questions about his approach to life, music and food. He practices Yoruba so what he does with technology and instruments is nothing short of African Futurism, literally pushing drums and incantations through channels. After a certain point I just sat down. I felt shaped into new form and had to pause and take it in. Renewal. He's one of my inspirations and seeing him in the Netherlands means I've transitioned from aspiring wanderluster to seasoned international local. I caught up with Osunlade after his set at the MC Theater where he spun...

Pyrography Album Sampler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqCN_4sDR08&feature;=channel_video_title Pyrography is the self proclaimed 'last house album' from Yoruba head Osunlade. Incorporating the signature Yoruba style, Pyrography effortlessly bridges the gap between electronic and organic. Braced with more vocal tracks than previous house albums, it showcases the musical diversity of label, taking in the recent underground monster 'Idiocyncracy', the infectious 'Envision' and the unmistakable Yoruba chant of 'Ser Al Santisimo'.

Bold and tell them that them
Trap done stand cold
Them fighting for silver and gold, yo
Rastafari black sheep inna fold, yo
Love and that nah put away any frown
What goes around comes forward around
I couldn't freak, couldn't frolic
We bun the circus clown
Chi, chi, man could never sit on Rastaman throne
Char them with words fire and sound
Pon the wicked heart, we deh go dash brimstone
If you say you love, love must already at your home
Or else you must be an alien from not around
The bloody man is very deceitful to his own
Inna the red sea pharaoh and his squad, he, them drown
Pharaoh watch him pretty city going down, ay
Who, a who run the zone, hey
Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Rasta plea the ghetto youth cause
Well then Aznaldo, Aznaldo, yea
If you love and love is your reward
Then again black people uno fi stop shed uno blood
Live inna unity, yea, come we say blessed love
From wence I came so from then I was
Uno lift the ghetto youth them out of the mud
Mi foot it, clean it, nah want not a scrub
Woman gone ah stream, she ah fire bun the tub, oy
Yo, tell me who that you they rob
That's why you so malicious, you deh hate and you deh grudge
Babylon so slippery like the soap and the sud
Babylon city full, ah, wire it bug, yah
Jah, bless the warrior because them nah fi budge
Babylon the Binghi melt it down like fudge yo
Zion I, well then me go tell them say
Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Rasta plea the ghetto youth cause, ey
Aznaldo, aznaldo
Live in love, love is your reward
Me go tell you say Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Rastaman ah bun them phase and clause
Then again aznaldo? Chala-tal-I?
Live in love and love is your reward
Me tell you say
When you see a [unverified], you war and come
Want for you fi know one time fi love yourself for now
No need for the knife no need for the gun
Them deh sittin there fi dun enemies anyhow
Warrior nation could never be defile
Black people govern the earth and stop run down the guile
Yes, ghetto girls school's girl them ah smile
She embrace cleanliness with ah humble profile
Some ah dem stusch when come ah dem ah pop style
Dem nah lef them king man nor them Black child
Aznaldo, Rasta Aznaldo
Rasta plea the black woman 'cause then again
Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Live in love, and love is your reward
Tell you now Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Rasta plea the Black youth them cause
Then again Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Live in love and love is your reward
Me go tell you now
Love and that nah put away any frown
What goes around come forward around
I couldn't freak couldn't frolic
We bun the circus clown
Boogaman could never sit on Rastaman throne
Char them with words fire and sound
