Ayinde Bakare was a pioneering Yoruba juju and highlife musician. He was extremely popular with the socialites across Yorubaland especially in Lagos and Ibadan in the 50s/60s. In the early 70s, during one of his popular performances in Lagos, Ayinde Bakare suddenly disappeared. He was later found dead somewhere in Lagos. It was rumoured that he was called to the backstage by some unknown individuals who pretended to be his fans and admirers.
