It has little disturbance at the beginning of the record,
later it gets a lot better. Haruna Ishola comes in with
this 1975 album on Star Records. Stunning rhythms

Tim Buckley, jeff’s father, has been an idol since I first
laid my ears on his music late seventies. It all started
with Look at The Fool, his last album. Tim sadly died
after taking an overdose of heroin age 28, june 29th,
1975. He started as a folk singer but his style changed
to soul, jazz, psychadelica, avant-garde over the years.
One of the greatest voices ever in seventies pop music.

Nigerian highlife comes in all kinds of forms under various names.
Professor I.K. Belemu brings us this album from 1990 and called it
‘Ijaw Highlife’. He performed under a bunch of different names,
take a look at his page on Discogs to see them all. As far as Discogs
is complete, this must be the only record with ‘his Exponents of
Nigeria’. Owigiri is another term we see passing by on his albums.
if you know more about it, please enlighten us ..

In march and october of 2010 we had two of their albums.
On those they were called ‘Original Super 5’, there are four
records on my shelf under the name ‘Super 5 International’.
Today the first of these called vol. 1. Topnotch Nigerian high-
life of which we find no year of release. Bright sounding as if
recorded only yesterday. Get it and spread it ..

In maart en oktober van het jaar 2010 hadden we reeds twee
van hun albums hier op de Global Groove. Die kwamen ooit uit
onder de naam ‘Original Super 5’. Ik heb er nog eens vier op de
plank waarop ze ‘Super 5 International’ heten. Vandaag de eerste
hiervan. Sterke Nigeriaanse highlife waarvan we geen jaar van
uitgifte weten. Helder klinkend alsof hij gisteren werd opgenomen.

Goedemorgen groevers, Ik kreeg een bericht van Gloomood,
hij of zij wees me op een post uit 2009 met slechte cover foto.
Ik heb deze maar eens opnieuw gemaakt en de file aangepast
aan de eisen van vandaag. Wat hebben we hier .. ?
Een re-post van een van Bezerra’s belangrijkste platen, zijn
songs staan zonder uitzondering bol van maatschappij kritische
teksten, zeer humoristisch en vol ironie. Het criminele en drugs
gerelateerde milieu komt ruimschoots aan bod.

Good morning groovers, I received message of Gloomood
saying one of our 2009 posts still had a quite poor sleeve
picture. It was time to restore the file and the post.
What do we have here .. ?
A re-post of one of Bezerra da Silva’s most important albums.
His songs are always display of political and society critics.
Very humoristic lyrics about criminals and drug related
matters.

From the very first time I listened to this album I was amused
by the lyrics, ‘Entertainment is a form of enjoyment’. Happy
times with Triston Palmer and Jah Thomas.
I’d say “..enjoy this entertainment ..”
