Oliver de Coque & the Expo 76
Ogene Sound Super
Messiah, Olumo 1976

Oliver de Coque, front

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.
