Kabaka International Guitar Band ( Led by Kabaka Opara ), Decca 1977

Goodafternoon, summer is really breaking through in the Netherlands.
Temperatures rise to far in the twenty’s ( Celsius ), weather for
a little Nigerian Highlife I’d say. Check this.
I found this LP on a recordfair not so long ago, an item that does
not give us the information we’d like to find. Backsleeve just tells
us titles, a year and nothing else. Nevertheless, the music is
worth a spin, or two.

tracks;

1 Izu kamma na nneji
2 Chukwu kere mmadu
3 Chineke wetuo ekwensu
4 Mangala special
5 Ichere chi amaghi onye iwu
6 Ajam ashi-mi

    Thanks for another rarity!

    You seem to visit the record fairs quite regular. Since i’m not living to far from the Netherlands, which one would you recommend for a collector of jazz and brazilian albums? Have you been to the one in Utrecht? What i read about it sounds impressive.

    Oh Boy, you got the Mangala Special, Kabaka first album after he left Oriental Brothers. Mangala aka Nathaniel Ejiogu died shortly before the band’s success and the album was Kabaka’s tribute to one of the founding members of the Oriental Brothers. This is a good one. Thanks
