Ajani Ogun is a 1976 Nigeria musical directed by Ola Balogun.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Nigerian musical by Ola Balogun, rooted in Yoruba traditions of performance. With limited plot detail, expect song, rhythm and folk-theatre spirit, which will interest viewers curious about the early days of Nigerian popular cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
