Another treasure with the wife of Alhaji Sir Waziri Oshomah. Sir Waziri clearly participates on this album. It appeared on Shanu Olu in 1986 and contains four nice tracks. Alhaja Hassanah Waziri and her Velvet Voice, sweet Etsakor highlife, great musicians, I love it .. and you .. Hie hebben we nog zo'n prachtplaat met[...]

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[...]

We're ending this Etsakor highlife theme week with the one it all started with and who is still my personal favourite, Sir Waziri Oshomah & his Family Traditional Sound Makers. This record on Decca West Africa is from 1977 and appears in decent condition. On the sleeve we find four titles per side and on[...]

This is the eighth album we have by Sir Waziri Oshomah. it is from 1974, Sir Waziri is the one who first caught my interest in Etsakor and Afenmai music. Still the greatest ! Hier hebben we de achtste Sir Waziri Oshomah die we tot dusver zien hier op de GG. Hij was de eerste[...]

Today I completely lost myself in the music of Waziri Oshomah. Been listening to his awesome records all day, what a rush. That's why I decided to do another record, I just couldn't resist. The more I listen and study his albums, the more I get convinced Hassanah was part of the Waziri family. Same[...]

Op dag zeven van onze Nigeriaanse Week, een tamelijk opmerkelijke plaat. Ik weet niet zeker of hij onder de noemer highlife of afenmai valt. Ik heb hem dan ook maar onder Nigeria gefiled. Sowieso komen we uit dit land maar bar weinig vrouwelijke artiesten tegen, we hebben er slechts ènkele eerder gezien hier op de[...]

As you can see, Sir Waziri Oshomah is ready and dressed for another day at the office. His co-workers/family members are already waiting with the proper gear to make it a succes. It seems they produce T.S. which stands for Traditional Sound, nice.. Zoals je kunt zien is Sir Waziri Oshomah weer helemaal klaar voor[...]

We hebben nu vier plaatjes van Sir Waziri Oshomah gezien en er wacht nog een tiental om gepost te worden. Afenmai is een vorm van Nigeriaanse highlife die door Sir Waziri is gïnitialiseerd. De exacte kenmerken kan ik je niet vertellen maar dat het smaakt is een feit. Smul vandaag eens van deze kraker. Voor[...]

Remember Waziri Oshomah ? he mixed highlife, afrobeat, juju and all kinds of music like reggae and rock and roll. His sound is quite unique and stands out for originallity. Listen to this album from 1975 and agree. Cool Nigerian stuff.. herrinner je je Waziri Oshomah nog met zijn weirde mix van afrobeat, highlife ,[...]

It is not highlife as I stated before, it is no juju, no afrobeat, this Nigerian artist produces a type of music they call Afemai Sound. There are juju elements as well as highlife but same time it is different. At Superfly Records you will find a lot of info on the subject. Listen to-[...]

Good evening, from Nigeria we've got us a highlife record by one of our latest discoveries here at the Global Groove. Waziri Oshomah was pointed out to me by a French vinyl salesman at the fair. I must say, this is great music, talking drums and vocal harmonies fight over first attention. Crazy keys and[...]
