“Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Nico Mbarga and Rocafil Jazz
present to you ‘Good Father'”, na het onnavolgbare succes van
zijn album ‘Sweet Mother’ uit 1976 bracht Prince Nico Mbarga
ode aan zijn complete familie. Platen als Family Movement,
Lucky marriage, Sweet Family en deze Good Father zijn duide-
lijk pogingen het succes van Sweet Mother te evenaren. Sweet
Mother verkocht wereldwijd meer dan 13.000.000 kopieën.
We hadden reeds zestien van zijn albums, het was hoog tijd
voor nummer zeventien. Down, deel en luister ..

“Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Nico Mbarga and Rocafil Jazz
present to you ‘Good Father'”, after the huge succes of his 1976
album ‘Sweet Mother’, Prince Nico Mbarga honoured his entire
family. Records like Family Movement, Lucky marriage, Sweet
Family and this Good Father are clearly made to try and equal
commercial succes of Sweet Mother. Sweet Mother sold over
13.000.000 copies worldwide. We had some sixteen of his
albums so far, high time for number seventeen,
get it, spread it and listen ..

It seems many albums are from 1981, some are and
some are re-issues in 1981 on Rogers All Stars.

Until now, we saw the White eagles International, the Indomitable
White Eagles and the White Eagles of Sabagreia. I found that the
players on the two last albums were totally different. From this
one we don’t know any names. It seems however there are at
least two different groups from Nigeria using the name White
Eagles. If anyone can shine a light on this, would be greatly
appreciated. For now, let’s just listen to another album
of the White Eagles of Sabagreia ..

Tot nu toe zagen we platen van the White eagles International,
the Indomitable White Eagles en the White Eagles of Sabagreia. De
laatste twee hiervan toonden compleet vershillende line-ups. Van
deze weten we geen spelers maar het lijkt er op dat er minstens
twee verschillende bands zijn die de naam White Eagles gebrui-
ken. Als iemand dit zou kunnen ophelderen, heel graag. Tot die
tijd kunnen we slechts luisteren naar nog zo’n plaat met de
White Eagles of Sabagreia ..

Mooi hè, zo’n platenhoes die je een klein verhaaltje vertelt.
“Kom op met die autosleutels ..” lijkt Atakora’s vrouw te zeg-
gen. Zo te zien maakt hij echter weinig aanstalten op haar ver-
zoek in te gaan. Sterker nog, Atakora neemt een afwachtende
houding aan, een bamboe lat in de rechterhand klaar om zijn
brutale vrouw zo dadelijk mee van repliek te dienen. Ik laat m’n
fantasie hier de vrije loop hoor maar zo zou het kunnen zijn.
Eens zien, we hebben hier een album met Atakora Manu’s
Band welke niet voorkomt in de discografie op Discogs. We
zien dat vaker, zodoende ook geen jaar van uitgave ..

Isn’t this a nice record sleeve ? It tells us a little story. With a
bit of imagination it seems Atakora’s wife says to him, “now
give me them car keys ..” Apparently however he doesn’t seem
to respond on this. On the contrary, Atakora plays the waiting
game, a piece of bamboo in his right hand, ready to give her a
correcting spanking in a little while. I could be mistaking but
that is how it looks. Let’s see, what do we have here ? An
album with Atakora Manu’s Band which does not appear
in Discogs discography. We see this more often.
Thus, again we don’t know a year of release ..

Yesterday’s album was messed up concerning track order.
The record company mixed up sides and titles and today
we have a similar situation. Fortunately I am on top of it
this time and managed to discover things on time. Okay
let’s see this must be about the 26th record we have with
Nana Ampadu’s African Brothers Band from Ghana. Not
one bad album as I recall, I guess Ghana’s most
succesful band ever ..

Gisteren hadden we een plaat waarvan de volgorde van de
nummers door de uitgever door elkaar was gegooid, vandaag
het zelfde liedje. Wat een rommeltje maken die lui er soms van.
Gelukkig was ik er dit keer alert op en staat alles in de goede
volgorde voor de downloader. Dit moet zo’n beetje de 26ste
plaat zijn die we hebben met Nana Ampadu’s African Brothers
Band uit Ghana, er is geen slechte bij, ik denk
Ghana’s meest succelsvolle band ooit ..

One of Nigeria’s most succesful highlife bands was ‘The Oriental
Brothers’. It was founded by the brothers, Kabaka, Dan Satch and
Warrior Opara early seventies. Later the brothers all took their own
course and split up in Dr. Sir Warrior & his Oriental Brothers, Godwin
Kabaka Opara’s Oriental Brothers, Oriental Brothers International
Band, led by F. Dan Satch Opara and many other variations. Today
we have an album with Kabaka International Guitar Band led by
Godwin Kabaka Opara. You may find a bunch of related albums
linked below this article. When opening the Oriental Brothers
Face Book page I found the image of the green Oriental Brothers
record which they took from my copy here at the Global groove.
Funny, and it makes one think the brothers don’t own copies of
their own records. (see sleeve damage). One way or the other,
I still think this was one of the greatest Nigerian groups all time ..

Één van Nigeria’s meest succesvolle highlife bands was de Oriental
Brothers. De groep werd opgericht in de vroege jaren 70 door de broers
Kabaka, Dan Satch en Warrior Opara. Later kozen ze elk een eigen koers
en gingen verder als Dr. Sir Warrior & his Oriental Brothers, Godwin Ka-
baka Opara’s Oriental Brothers, Oriental Brothers International Band,
led by F. Dan Satch Opara en vele andere variaties. Vandaag hebben
we een album met Kabaka International Guitar Band led by Godwin
Kabaka Opara. Je vindt nog een pluk gerelateerde platen in de links
onder dit artikel. Toen ik de Oriental Brothers Face Book pagina opende
vond ik de afbeelding van hun groene album welke ze gekopieerd hebben
van mijn exemplaar hier op de Global groove. Grappig en het doet vermoe-
den dat de broers zelf niet alle platen bezitten die ze ooit hebben uitgebracht.
(zie de barstjes in de hoes) Hoe dan ook, ik ben van mening dat de oriental
Brothers nog altijd een van de beste Nigeriaanse Bands ooit zijn ..

Hij verscheen vorig jaar al eens op deze highlife verzamelplaat
met zijn hit Asiko Darling, dit is de eerste keer dat hij hier met
een solo project verschijnt. Eddie Donkor speelde jaren lang bij
Nana Ampadu’s African Brothers Band als ritme gitarist. Uitein-
delijk besloot hij het op eigen benen te proberen. Dit album is
opgenomen in Nigeria, EMI studio’s, Lagos. Eddie Donkor’s
highlife is zeer ritmisch en daarom zeer dansbaar ..

He appeared here on one earlier occasion last year with his hit
Asiko Darling, it was on this highlife collector. This is the first
solo appearance. Eddie Donkor used to play his rhythm guitar in
Nana Ampadu’s African Brothers Band for years and eventually
tried to make it on his own. This album was recorded in the EMI
studio’s in Lagos, Nigeria. Eddie Donkor’s highlife stands out for
its highly danceable character ..
