Today I’m introducing another musician from Edo state, formally
known as Bendel State. Like Waziri Oshomah we file this under
Etsakor highlife. Omo Smart Idonigie is from that same state.
Deep and groovy highlife that brings us in a certain trance.
The album is in reasonable condition, just light noises.
On Kabakar Sounds, from 1977 ..

Vandaag introduceer ik nog een muzikant uit Edo state, voormalig
bekend als Bendel state.Net als Waziri Oshomah valt dit in de cata-
gorie Etsakor highlife. Omo Smart Idonigie komt uit diezelfde hoek.
Diepe groovy highlife die ons in zekere vervoering brengt. De
plaat verkeert in redelijke conditie, slechts lichte kraakjes.
Op Kabakar Sounds, uit 1977 ..

Als je eenmaal in de Waziri flow zit kom je er niet makkelijk uit.
Vierde op rij is deze 84′ Step One op Oshiobyghie Records. Lekkere
diepe highlife plaat. Het is er eentje waarop de titels Alhaji en Sir
samen worden gebruikt. Liner notes eindigen dan ook in een dubbel
“May the almighty Allah guide and bless us all, Amen.” geef mij
de muziek maar en in mindere mate de boodschap ..

Once you’re in the Waziri flow, there’s no easy way out. Fourth
in row we have this 84′ Step One on Oshiobyghie Records. Nice
deep highlife album. It is one on which both titles Alhaji and Sir
are being used. Liner notes end in a double “May the almighty
Allah guide and bless us all, Amen.” For me it is all about the
music and not so much the message ..

Net als de plaat van gisteren is ook deze niet vrij van kleine
beschadigingen. Dit soort Nigeriaanse oudheden is nauwelijks
in perfecte staat te vinden. We mogen al blij zijn ze überhaupt
tegen het lijf te lopen. Wat hebben we hier, het is het tweede
volume in de Weppa Wanno Sound serie. Er zijn er zeker zeven.
We blijven zoeken naar meer delen in de serie, wie weet wat
de beurs in Utrecht volgende maand zal brengen ..

Like yesterday’s album, its follower up of today is also not free
from little traces of damage. This type of Nigerian oldies is hardly
available in perfect condition. We may consider ourselves already
lucky finding them at all. What do we have here, it is the second
volume in the Weppa Wanno Sound series of which at least seven
exist. We’ll keep looking for more volumes, who knows what
the next record fair in Utrecht will bring us ..

In the afenmai section we find another record with
the Weppa Wanno Sound from Etsakor. It has a little
disturbance after about a minute and is quite scratchy
overall but I still didn’t want to withhold it from you.
Deep Nigerian highlife, no name of an artist on the cover.
We see two different images, can you tell us who we see ?

In de afenmai sectie vinden we vandaag nog zo’n plaat
met de Weppa Wanno Sound uit Etsakor. Na ongeveer
een minuut heeft hij enkele nare pops en is over het alge-
meen een beetje krakerig. Evengoed wilde ik hem je niet
onthouden. Diepe Nigeriaanse highlife. We vinden helaas
geen artiesten naam op de hoes, wel twee foto’s,
wie het weet mag het zeggen ..

“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 ..
