Third LP by this artist at this page. As usual I can’t
really tell you anything useful about him. I am not even
sure if I like the message he is bringing. The only thing
I am absolutely sure of is what my ears tell me. And that
is something good ! Whether it’s is Ghanaian or Nigerian,
I don’t know and I don’t care, it is a real treat !

4 Suffer suffer
5 Mo nhwe me
6 Daben koraa ?

Want another LP of Nigerian highlife ? Oliver de Coque
is not the world’s greatest singer but his music has
a groove I absolutely dig. That much said, it would
deserve at least a couple of spins, two Mp3’s
of a tiny 20 minutes each, give it a go..

tracks;

1 Atutu gepu mpi ekwe gesiya ike
– Chukwu ekwena kifififele meayi
2 Klub nationale
– Egwu omenani

Don’t you agree Pele Asampete is wearing a beautiful outfit ?
I’m always a bit jealous, if this white ass would wear it I’d look
like a jerk. On Rogers All Stars comes this RAS LPS 043, a
nice work of Nigerian highlife. No familiar names if it comes
to personel, take a look at the backsleeve which is in the file.
I think this LP is from 1983, giving the date on the front cover’s
little sticker of Sud Radio. It can’t be younger, that much is clear.
The music on this album really makes me happy for it’s clear
and rocky sound, however I must take distance from any
religeous messages on this one. Lucky are we who do not
understand a word of what he is singing,..enjoy..
