..found some extra time this week, because of ascension day. an extra day to do some work in the garden and do an extra post. Let's see, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey's work seems endless. We saw quite some of his albums and still, a bunch is waiting to find a place at the GG. This[...]

Favourite artist of quite a number of blog friends is Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. His juju is always guaranteed to please. We already had 26 of his albums and there is still a pile left to be posted. Today's record is from 1976 on Decca, another fine piece of juju .. Éen van de meest[...]

Some more requests for juju music from Michael, this is the first of his wishes of which I just happen to have a few. Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey made a load of records. We had a bunch already and still many to follow. 'My Vision' is from 1985 and appears on the Obey label. If[...]

Zoals veel artiesten is Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey verkikkerd op zijn land van herkomst. We hoorden al eerder bijvoorbeeld Ramito die zweert bij zijn Puerto Rico, ook Irma Vila y su Mariachi met het nummer 'Como México no hay dos'. Vandaag zingt Ebenezer Obey 'No place be like my country Nigeria'. Heel eerlijk denk ik[...]

Closing the juju marathon we've got us this album of sixties songs by the great Ebenezer Obey. It was released in 1980 but covers twelve songs from the sixties. Those were the days he was leading the band under the name Chief Commander Obey and his International Brothers Band and before changing into the Inter-Reformers[...]

Somehow they tend to present themselves as some sort of home made priests. Most juju masters like to bring a message to the world. I am kind of allergic to it so, as long as I don't find any titles with the lord in it, I'm happy and prepared to share the stuff. Juju is[...]

Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey heeft een stapel platen gemaakt van ik weet niet hoeveel. Met de veertien stuks die hier tot nu toe geplaatst zijn maken we slechts een klein beginnetje. Deze vijftiende elpee op de GG komt uit 1972 en verkeert in perfecte staat vor de 44 jaar die hij heeft. Het begint met[...]

Hello groovers, today's post concerns an album by one of the greatest juju artists ever. It is if I'm not miscalculating the 20th here at he GG. This one is from 1970 and contains two juju tracks and one highlife track. It is the second album the Chief made in London and I am glad[...]

I wonder how many albums he made, this is number 21 or so in my collection alone. Allmost every recordhunt ends with another one or two of his great lp's. I am very fond of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey's rhythmsection. Listen to those subtle beats, zooming bass and sweet vocal harmony, sure to find more[...]

Hello groovers, it's saturday th 29th already, october is almost gone, tonight we're going to turn back the clock one hour again. Goodbeye summertime and hello autumn. Right here at the GG, we're gonna extend summer a bit more. Maybe not sunny but Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey warms us with his hot blanket of bubbling[...]

Hello groovers, there's something I wish to tell you for some time now and today seems a fine day to do so. I am a non-religious person. I know this is a strange phenomena for some people but in our country I think more than half of the population is. Money and religion are the[...]

From Bahia, we jump back across the ocean to West Africa where originally most of Bahia's inhabitant's ancesters came from. It has indeed been some time since we had us some of this sweet Nigerian sound. Miliki Sound is what Chief Ebenezer called it in 1973. Nowadays it goes for juju. One way or the[...]
