Seeking recording of 'Aguanile oh Ogun Mariwo'

Hi folks

I've been hunting high and low online and through my music for a recording of someone singing this song in the traditional folkloric form. At our session we're having some disagreements about exactly how it goes with clave/bell. Can anyone point me to, or share with me a recording?

I'm referring to this one:
Aguanile o Ogun Mariwo
Aguanile o Ogun Mariwo
Ogun afomode
O ile afere Mariwo
Ogunde bamba

Thanks very much
Assaf

I isolated a good recording of this and verified with Thomas A's book. The "bam-ba" at the end is on the last two hits of the bell. If you guys were arguing about that, then game over. If not, most everything lines up with bombos on both front and back side of clave. for instance, on the entrance "A guanile-o" The "gua" syllable hits straight on the bombo. Then, the "gun" part of "Ogun mariwo"
