The always exentric Oliver de Coque started out in 1976,
with this LP if I’m correct. He was one of the first to use
Congolese guitarstyle in Nigerian Highlife. I posted a couple
of his albums last year, check the highlife section on this page.
( below on the left ) here‘s one to start with.
Track one starts out a little bumpy, sorry.
tracks;
1 Messiah messiah/Mbanese ayi ekene
2 My cherry
3 Ekeoha fire disaster ( Aba )
4 Kaduna special
I have this one from somewhere else…I’ll see if I can track down where I got it. Might provide a cleaner start to track one…It is a great recording.
