It is a coincidence, I received a request from Tony,
asking for King Sunny Ade because today is his 67th
birthday. I checked the KSA lp’s I haven’t posted yet
but the only three left unposted are not my favourites.
When an lp has god and jesus titles I get irritated and
am unable to post. It just so happens I have this album
by Thony Adex with or about King Sunny Ade. You can
see his picture on the frontsleeve and his name is in
the titles as well. I have no idea about the link, if King
Sunny is performing here or if it’s all about him, if any
one can tell us what the link is, would be very much
appreciated. So Tony, an album by Thony Adex,
hope you enjoy it anyway..
another Thony Adex, here

..oh and eh, happy birthday King Sunny !

tracks;

1 Ija sunny ati abioro
2 Mode mode nti ewe ade
– Ore otito ko si
– Adupe lowo oluwa
– Won lewa won sowa kiri
– Sedico system

We had one of his lp’s before and two with Shina Peters.
Fortunately this time no christian songs as far as I know.
I love the sound of juju but can’t stand any religious messages.
This album has some hiss at the beginning and side two is
completely out of centre but sounds fairly okay. 1987
Yoruba juju you don’t want to miss, I especially
love the rhythms, how about you..?

tracks;

1 Oko tun tun
– Mo jere
– Ero
2 Late papa obafemi awolowo

Yesterday we tried to support Ghana with it’s game
against Germany and it seems we booked a tiny succes.
They played 2 – 2 and it was a great match. Last night we
had Nigeria against Bosnia-Herzegovina, I am too late to
give them our support with this lp but they gained their 3
points anyway. Listen to I.K. Dairo’s tribute to the Green
Eagles of Nigeria and enjoy, 1976 juju from the top shelf..

tracks;

1 Irohin ayo t’ode b’awa
– Ohun t’ojuri ni addis-ababa
– Green Eagles
2 Bi mo ba r’ajo
– Lawrence idonije
– Ere mi a d’ale
– T.o.a. ajiboye
– Adeniran aluko
– Iku ye l’ori mi tefetefe

Posting juju music is something I’ve been doing right from
the start of this blog in 2008. It is the sound of juju that I
really love and promote, the message however is often one
I can not support. As soon as jesus titles appear my hair
stands up of annoyment, being heretic I must take distance
from any religious content. That being said we can now sit
down and listen to the funky twist in Admiral Dele Abiodun’s
juju, one I can appreciate a lot. So don’t be affraid and suck
in this slice of Nigerian sweetness from 1978, enjoy..

tracks;

1 Awa o ni legba
– Adawa lofi agba han won
– Ajanaku koja eran a mupa leya
– Aba teni je
– Kekerenke
– Ajuwa ye ye o
2 Baba wa gbo ebe omo re
– Alhaji jimoh mustafa ( alias chop-life )
– Mo ti ba jesu le sode
– Tani matele jesu
– Ayo ayeni

“With wealthy Nigerian backers, Sir” Shina Peters combined
juju with elements of Fela Kuti’s Afro-Beat style and the upfront
drum sounds of fuji music into a style he dubbed Afro-Juju.”
( Rough Guide )
This 1984 album on Makossa fascinates from beginning to end.
Sir Shina Peter’s afro-juju is full of surprising turns and sounds,
We had a ‘Sir Shina Adewale’ album in december 2008, here’s
the link to that album as well.
“Segun Adewale started out as a backup singer, with Shina
Peters, in the band of Prince Adekunle , a contemporary of
I.K. Dairo’s, before splitting off to form their own group
which they called, with no trace of irony,
Shina Adewale.” ( Rough Guide )

tracks;

1 Ko temi fun mi
– Omo ilewe ( student )
2 Olojo nkajo ( maturity )
– Dapo tejuosho family

Some time back I met with two Belgians, they frequent
several African countries to find special lp’s. On their last
visit they brought back some rare stuff. Take this juju lp
by Thony Adex, untill now I had never heard of him.
I love them sweeping broomsounds in the beginning
of the album. Get it & spread it..

tracks;

1 Baba wa orun
– Fana han mi
– Atakoro wo nu ado
– Omo onife
2 A tun gbede
– Orere ila
– Omo awo re o

It’s been a while since we had us another lp by this
juju artist. I.K. Dairo was born in the town of Offa,
located in present day Kwara state. His family was
originally from Ijebu-Ijesa before migrating ..read more

Good morning groovers, today’s honey comes from Nigeria. Admiral
Dele Abiodun and his Top Hitters Band are here to share some
wonderful juju with us. Make sure you don’t miss this piece of
history, it will be gone before you realise. The sound of Dele
is most funky and sparkling, the beats are incredible and
I’m quite sure yoy wont be able to remain seated while
listening, give it a couple of spins..

tracks;

1 Eni ebi ri ebi
– Iro ni won npa
– Ironu ikoko
– Mo f’aiye mi fun mesu
2 Labu-labu
– Onile ni o ni oba fun
– A yanmo ni
– G’esin ni kese

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 we’ve got it, these
rhythms are hypnotising. Get it and spread it !

tracks;

1 Lagos state
– Ekiti
– Ife
– A omo enia luware o
– Davies/adebayo
2 Adupe baba
– Akunle
– Tonny anny
3 Ajoyio

Hello groovers, today I received another request for an lp
by King Sunny Adé, called ‘Destiny’. I’m so sorry but I don’t
have that one. Next month we’ll have us another recordfair in
Utrecht, you never know. To comfort those in search I’ve got
this album. “Bobby” is a tribute to the late Olabinjo (Bobby)
Benson, see picture. No idea who he was but the music
is marvelous, that’s for sure. Enjoy it while we keep on
lookin’ for more, get it, spread it & enjoy..

p.s. on Wikipedia I discovered
Bobby Benson was a Nigerian
highlife composer and musician.

tracks;

1   Bagogo ba ti dun
–   Mo gbe tuntun de
–   Onikaluku a bi tie lara
–   Orun lo mo eni ma la
