From the very first notes, the fast rolling subtle drums and the more than funky guitars it becomes cristal clear ! This is one hell of a juju record. Ever since the release of his hit album Eyi Yato Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey followed this new way and focussed on a younger public. Recorded in[...]

Another fine album by the great Ebenezer Obey, the label of the LP tells us it's from 1976 but the cover says 1977. One way or the other, I think it's a fine recording and very much worth a few spinnings. Pay attention to the drummers on this one, outstanding team of players. tracks; 1[...]

The juju-train rolls on and on, with those one track LP sides it's hard to detemine where one title goes over into the next. This results in a two track file where in fact we hear 12 songs. Since I also don't under- stand a word of Nigerian, the voices are like instruments to me[...]

I'm in a good mood today so here's some juju to round up. Listening to this album, there's a couple of passages that make you think of an early X-mas but other, holy cow, it's damn good juju. tracks; 1 Odun keresimisi - Irinse lo jona obey o jona - Irin ajo - Ile oba[...]

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.[...]

Another Tribute album in juju style today. Chief Commander Ebenezer brings it to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Ebenezer flirts with western influences on this LP and calls it 'Miliki Sound'. Extremely nice talking drums, sweeet juju. tracks; 1 Tribute to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo 2 Enia ti mo feran ju - Wa sun[...]

Next in this series of reposts, Ebenezer Obey. tracks 1 Oba sijuade 2 Ogonpa flood disaster

Okay, here we go trying out Megaupload for the first time. I received lots of advice and it's hard choosing the right one. A try-out seems to be the best way to find the best solution. Since Rapidshare attacked my juju posts so massively, a Chief Ebenezer album seems at place today. This Lp on[...]

To support the 1976 Campaign, Operation Feed the Nation, Ebenezer made this LP. "If Japan, Guyana, Russia, the Philippines, and Ghana can do it", Ebenezer said, "Nigeria must not fail." These country's had succes with comparable programs. Juju as good as ever by the hand of the master, hail Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & his[...]

Juju lovers, Pay Attention ! I have heard a couple juju albums but this is the most Funky Juju I have ever heard. I now quote the backsleeve notes; "The tracks on this album are a complete departure from the mainstream of juju format, although Obey's style and grace of delivery is very distinct. Obey[...]

Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey is back. He brings us a swell 1977 album, on which we see the same stadium in the background as we saw in the last post by Oriental Brothers. And also on Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe's 'the People Star in London'. I think it's Probably not existing anymore because I could[...]

A good day to you Groovers around the Globe, this last week has been a little hectic. My old PC was getting slower and slower by the day. It was going to crash, that much was certain, it was only a matter of time. So I decided to get another one. I am now working[...]

Ebenezer is back here with an oldie, from 1969 this is 'Ebenezer Obey in London'. On this LP the numbers are devided as to European standards. It's been released in Lagos Nigeria by Decca West Africa. tracks; 1 Egba 2 Ijesha 3 Ibadan 4 Iba foluwa/Ajokadabi ile 5 Ijebu 6 Ondo/Ogbomosho 7 Ori mi ko[...]

I was in the mood for some Juju tonight so I decided to rip us this sweet album by Chief Ebenezer Obey. Being an English release, I have the feeling it is adapted to European standards a bit, the songs are shorter and have pauses in between. Still, nothing can go wrong, Juju is simply[...]
