From 1977 we find another album with Sir Waziri Oshomah.
When I took the sleeve to photograph it sometning fell
out on the floor. What a surprise, it was the original
invoice from the 1978 purchase. It was once bought
in A.B & Bros. Electronic Store, 34 Polytechnic Road in Auchi.
The cost of an album like this was 6 Naira. Nowadays 1000
Naira is worth € 2,-. Also purchased was 1 Etsakor vol. 2
and 1 Asi Balewa, I’ll post one of his records tomorrow.
Really funny extra with this record. It makes
listening to it even more special ..

Uit 1977 komt het album met Sir Waziri Oshomah dat we vandaag
hebben. Toen ik de hoes op z’n kant hield viel er iets uit.
Wat schetste m’n verbazing, het was de originele aankoopnota
uit 1978. De plaat is ooit aangekocht bij A.B. & Bros.
Electronic Store, 34 Polytechnic Road in Auchi voor de
prijs van 6 Naira. Ter vergelijk, vandaag de dag is 1000 Naira
€ 2,-. Ook aangekocht werd 1 Etsakor vol. 2 en 1 Asi Balewa,
morgen zal ik van hem ook een plaat posten. Zeer grappige
extra die het beluisteren van deze elpee nog leuker maakt ..

01 – Ikwekiame nezimede emmanuel imhomoh
02 – Osimhe loremekia agbomenire (part II)
03 – Ugheorenimhe
04 – Oghenatseyo tseyo (part II)

Its sleeve has partly dissolved (left edge), the actual vinyl however
is in reasonable condition. Listening to this 1981 slice of
Sir Waziri Oshomah’s highlife is a pleasure.
Get it & spread it ..

01 – Ovbini omookeke alhaji inu-umoru
02 – Enakhe prince agunu 2 emokpaire
03 – Okhume ukhaduame
04 – Emoemi alhaji momoh umoru

We can never hear too much Waziri Oshomah,
the Etsakor Super Star. In other words,
listen to the next in line. Another 10
await to be posted.
Cheers groovers ..

This record from 1977 opens with a song that has more or less
the same title as yesterday’s opener. “Did you know that ‘Isah
Sule’, popularly and musically known as Sir Waziri Oshomah,
was born on the 12th february, 1948 in Osomegbe, Ekperi,
Auchi, Bendel State. He obtained his primary education at
Osomegbe primary school, after which he attended St. Andrew’s
secondary school, Fugar. He worked in both government and
private sectors before he resigned to form his traditional highlife
band in 1973 and this has given him the opportunity of preaching
to his people through his recordings…” (liner notes)

Back at the Global Groove today is the great Sir Waziri Oshomah
& his Family Traditional Sound Makers. Waziri was one of the ori-
ginators of afenmai Etsakor highlife. He made a list of records of
which it is high time to bring some more. The sound quality could
be a whole lot better, but it is hard to find these albums in good
condition. This elpee is listed number five on Discogs, not
sure if it really is his fifth. From 1976 on Decca, enjoy ..

Vandaag terug op de Global Groove is Sir Waziri Oshomah & his
Family Traditional Sound Makers. Waziri was een van de grondleggers
van de Afenmai Etsakor highlife. Hij maakte een berg platen waarvan
het hoog tijd is er nog een paar te plaatsen. De geluids kwaliteit kan
een heel stuk beter, maar het is moeilijk zijn albums in goede staat te
vinden. Deze is als vijfde geplaatst op Discogs, ik weet niet of het
ook daadwerkelijk zijn vijfde plaat is. Uit 1976 op Decca, luister ..

On Brobisco House of Music we find this album with Asiakwa
Brass Band. In january 2012 we already had one of their albums,
it was received with big enthusiasm back then. Brass Band highlife
from Ghana is the type of music that makes you instantly
happy. On this record the group pays tribute to Alex
Konadu with the ‘Agyata Wuo’ and ‘Nsuo Amuna’
medley’s. Rare Ghanaian stuff ..

Awieama Little John wrote the songs. He was also the lead

This week I was blown away, listening to this wonderful record again
with Moses Adeolu Akinsanya. I first heard it when I downloaded it
at Afro Soul Descarga in 2012. I took the liberty to freshen up the
files by tagging all the songs and add the correct titles and such.
Posting it now is a tribute to Afrosouldescarga. Go there to
find more great records. Meantime listen to Baba Eto ..
