Sir Jerry Oshiorenua and the Heroes
Dance Band of Etsako
Why Worry Records WWR 032

One of the fun things about crate digging is one discovers
artists and music never heard of. The Utrecht record fair
is the place where I meet loads of record dealers from all
over the world. One of them always brings the most obscure
Nigerian vinyl. Thank you Sofiane for all that sweet Etsakor
stuff you bring us.

What have we got for you today, an album with Sir Jerry
Oshiorenua and the Heroes Dance Band of Etsako. When
going to Discogs I find the name Mike Esimiekhua. No idea
if Sir Jerry is an alias but it looks like it. One way or the other,
his sound is quite different from the Afenmai/ Etsakor music
we have heard so far. Get, spread and listen ..

Één van de mooie kanten van het platen zoeken is dat je van
tijd tot tijd muziek vindt van Artiesten waar je nog nooit van
gehoord hebt. De Mega Platenbeurs in Utrecht is de plek bij
uitstek. Ik ontmoet er platen dealers uit de hele wereld. Één
van hen brengt altijd de meest obscure platen mee uit Nigeria.
Dank je Sofiane voor al die geweldige Etsakor elpees.

Wat hebben we hier ? Een album met Sir Jerry Oshiorenua
and the Heroes Dance Band of Etsako. Op Discogs vinden we
het onder de naam Mike Esimiekhua, geen idee of Sir Jerry
een alias is maar het lijkt erop. Hoe dan ook, zijn sound is flink
anders dan de Etsakor/Afenmai muziek die we tot dusver
hebben gehoord. Down, deel en luister ..
