Dele Abiodun combined elements of Juju, Highlife and Afrobeat
to create his unique Adawa Super Sound. The songs are cut of and
must have been way longer originally but I think
they’re still worth a spin.

tracks;

1 Confrontation
2 Alalo moko
3 Adawa super dub
4 You are my love
5 Mo wo otun
– Ore dani oto pon
– Eje iga foro kofa odale
– Kowo kowo

In the continuing story of King Sunny Adé, we find this album
from 1987. King Sunny wears diamond leather and a golden watch
and sings about jealousy but the music’s still sweet and that’s what
it’s all about, talking drums and Hawaï guitars. Count me in.

tracks;

1 Sokoyokoto
– Honey baby
– Pegan pegan
– Jealousy
– Ere ayo
2 Late Papa Obafemi Awolowo

Look who’s back, King Sunny Adé is here with a killer album.
If you’re a juju lover do not miss this one, superb instrumentalists.
Talking drums, hawaian guitars, sweet beat.

tracks;

1 My dear
– E gbe kini yi laruge
– Iran akin lo nduro de ogun
– Enu o dun elenu a pon la
– Odu oteyi yato
– Emi nfe
2 Iya o se paro
– Ori o bami se temi
– Toju ebi e
– Ohun to ba gbin
– A mbo o

Good afternoon groovers worldwide, summer is now really coming to an
end in the Netherlands. It was long and sunny but autumn is breaking
through. To keep that warm feeling, we learned a couple of tricks like
playing tropical musictypes. Today’s choice is an album by Nigerian hero,
Oliver de Coque. One of the last ones to make old fashioned Nigerian Highlife.
On his covers he used to appear dressed quite extravagant but on this one
he and his wife keep it simply white. If you want it, do not hesitate.
Rapidshare is going to change some rules in october. Files that are not
downloaded for 90 days will disappear in the future. Better take a good
look around here at the GG. I am not sure yet how I’m gonna solve this
new little problem so please tell your friends to come visit us and keep
our files alive by sucking them in. Enjoy.

tracks;

1 My woman
– Togetherness
2 Ochichi Nigeria
– Chukwu gozie obodo anyi Nigeria

Last sunday was an all Congolese day, this sunday will be all Nigerian.
I don’t know exactly how many albums by the great Ebenezer I already posted
but it seems the list of LP’s he made is endless. This is another one from
1987. Again all tracks are melted together as one, hope U like.

tracks;

1 Eni to ba mbe Laiye
– Ninu Odun yi Baba ser er e fun mi
– Oseun Oluwa
– Jesu nikan ni moni ni Baba
– Bose Omode Loluwa gbola fun
– Odun Owo
2 Orisirisi ore lowa Laiye
– O mo pe mori e
– Ma gba mi laya / Ma gba mi loko
– Late Chief Moradeun Aduke Ojora
– Late Chief E.O. Okunowo
– Edumare fun wa lolu Omo

Rounder Records is a label that stands high on my list of favourites.
They use to release lots of historic music, I became a follower after
finding a load of old Calypso on it. This album contains tracks from the
late 30’s (they sound like that too) untill mid 60’s. The roots of juju
do not sound like the juju we know today but you can hear some basic links.

tracks;

If we speak of Juju, we think of King Sunny Adé or Chief Ebenezer Obey.
Admiral Dele Abiodun is quite famous too but have you heard of Femi
Akinyemi’s Juju Lucky Stars ? I never had untill I found this here album.
I can’t find any information on the web about Femi. He’s from the urban
Yoruba scene in Lagos and it rocks like crazy. The year of release is also
an unknown factor, late 70’s probably, can you tell us ? Listen to this
sweet melt of Afro-Beat, Highlife and Juju.

tracks;

1 Egungun Riot 1976
2 Ki araiye sora

To continue we have us an album by Alhaja Queen Salawa Abeni, she
was the one with two requests so here she is. Salawa has a full and
strong voice, surrounded by all those drums this sounds fabulous.
Rare Nigerian material you don’t get to hear every day, check it
and stay tuned, there’s some great stuff yet to follow.

tracks;

1 Ere lawa se
– Awa ni omode olorin
– Kosi ibi t’odabi ile
– K’eya ba mi lo ijesha
– B’araiye ngbogun
2 Oba ayeraiye
– Egbade f’alade
– Eje k’ajo jo
– Late Alhaji Taoreed Abedigba
– Owo pelu-omo
– Ise ori ranmi

This 33 year old album has an almost invisible cover, it wobbles and
whirls and wanders about ’cause the hole is not in the middle. Still,
even while sometimes false, a good listen worth. Sweet
highlife by the Oriental Brothers.

tracks;

1 Murtala Mohammed
2 Nkwa pt. 1
3 Nwoke ezu-ike
4 Ndidi
