Sunny Omoaregbe & his
traditional Band of Iuleha
Ojemenkhona
Ahanmisi Records 1986

Hello, it’s been a while since we had us some Etsakor highlife.
Today’s entry may annoy some of you for it opens with a few
pops and it absolutely bears some background noise. The
diehard lovers of this type of music however don’t mind,
after all it’s all about the rarity of this album.
Sunny Omoaregba and His Traditional Band of Iuleha is a
musical group known for their Owan traditional music, a
sub-genre of Nigerian highlife and folk music. Their music
is rooted in the culture of the Iuleha people, who are part of
the Owan ethnic group in Edo State, Nigeria.The band is
known for their distinctive sound, which often features
traditional instruments and a high-life style. Some of their
recorded albums include “Oyana Khaomen” and “Ojemenkhona.”
You can find some of their full albums and tracks on platforms
like YouTube and specialized music marketplaces.

Hoi, het is alweer even geleden dat we muziek hadden in de categorie
Etsakor highlife. De plaat die we vandaag hebben kan audifiele luis-
teraars ergeren, hij opent met wat pops en heeft ook enig achtergrond
geluid. De fanatieke liefhebber echter maakt dit niet uit. Tenslotte
gaat het om de muziek op deze zeldzame geluidsgrager.

    Nice one Moos… Much appreciated.
    Some folk might pucker up their noses at the crackles, but tbh I love them.
