A few weeks ago, I was looking for news in some Amsterdam
recordstores, and found this album by Muddy Ibe.
I couldn’t find out much about Muddy, anybody who can
fill us in on some details ? He’s been called Captain
Muddy Ibe later and is from Nigeria, is all I know.
I blew the recording of this LP two times, but today I
finally made it. Would you think it’s got anything to do
with a spell Muddy put on it ? He’s waving with some powerful
tool there, you never know.

tracks;

1 Ndi aghogho erike
2 Ezi omlime amaka
3 Kwuo ka ira

This here LP contains some classic Nigerian Highlife.
Quite hard to find material from Nigeria’s 70’s, I was
lucky many years ago. At first it seems they still have to
get warm but then it starts to run smooth after a while.
It’s the type of record that gets better the more you play it.
I aleady Love it ! Don’t miss this one.

tracks;

1 Peace movement social club of Nigeria
2 Shakara school girl
3 Olu ugbo ( operation feed the nation )
4 Men of today

Temperatures are rising in the Netherlands, everybody searches for
some outdoor coolness, but there isn’t.
After three hot days I finally got myself to posting some music.
African music that is, to adjust to the temperature.
Highlife from Ghana, with the African Brothers Band, very sunny
mellow sound that matches the weather perfectly.

tracks;

1 Me poma
2 Getty
3 Yeme breoo
4 Gye mani
5 Me bisa

I got lucky, just as I finished making the previous post, the sun
broke through, and I managed to take my pics.
So here’s Olatunji from Nigeria with some nice Highlife.
Get that party going !
“I am the drum,
you are the drum,
and we are the drum.
Because the whole world
revolves in rhythm, and
rhythm is the soul of life,
for everything that we do in
life is in rhythm.”

Well here we go. My first post on the world wide web.
When I was visiting one of the biggest recordfairs of Europe,
in Utrecht, I found this rare highlife LP from Nigeria. One of
my friends and I were looking for just anything by this artist,
so I was pleasantly surprised to find this album.
