At Discogs it is classified as highlife. I do not hear pure highlife
though. I think I hear more juju. We also cannot say it is pure juju,
somewhere in the middle of the two and a bit more juju than highlife.
I would classify it as Juju-Highlife. From 1979 and on Ibukun
Orisun from Lagos, Nigeria. I love it, wonderful sound ..
01 – Ona orun jin
—- Oloko awaye
—- Makanju
—- Igbehin l’alayo mi ta
02 – Jiji ti mo ji
—- Esan a ke l’ori odale
I’ve listened to this many times now since you posted it and want to say thanks, it’s great. A very interesting record with a unique sound, quite enjoyable!
Good to hear Good to Go! ..
This is quite wonderful, thanks, and your description as juju-highlife is spot on.
Awesome, little known juju. Recalls polytonality of Orlando Owoh.
i think these are orlando owoh cover songs. if not, they are strikingly similar. great stuff!
