A Voice That Carried the Gospel Far and Wide
Evang. Aworinde was not just a musician — he was a vessel. His Yoruba gospel songs carried a depth of faith and cultural richness that spoke directly to the hearts of his listeners. For decades, his music filled churches, homes, and open-air crusades, reminding believers of the power and faithfulness of God.
His style was distinctly Yoruba — rooted in the traditions, language, and rhythms that make the culture so uniquely beautiful — yet his message was universal. Whether young or old, anyone who heard him sing could feel the sincerity behind every lyric.
Farewell to a Faithful Servant
In Nigeria, we say “Iku ya j’esin” — death is preferable to disgrace. Evang. Aworinde lived a life worthy of honour. At 76, he completed his race with grace, leaving behind a musical and spiritual inheritance that will continue to bless generations to come.
As news of his passing spreads, tributes are expected to pour in from fellow gospel ministers, fans, and the wider Christian community who were touched by his ministry over the years.
May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may God comfort his family, friends, and all who mourn his departure. 🕊️
