✨✧ Alhaji Waziri OshomahAlhaji Waziri Oshomah Vol 3 ... LP
Shanu Olu/Luaka Bop, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The music of Alhaji Waziri Oshomah just seems to get better as each new record moves on – stepping forth with a sense of cohesion and musical vision that's really wonderful! This excellent set features four long tracks that each have similar building blocks of percussion, guitar, organ, and tenor saxophone – and there's a sense of structure that binds each tune together, yet also gives them all a different flavor – these minimalist masterpieces that start slow, build things up, and open the gateway for the vocals – yet all with a much more stripped-down style than Nigerian work of a few years before! The whole thing makes for a completely compelling, highly hypnotic set – with titles that include "Oshiomegie Idonigie", "Eyemaya Erayemare", "I Forget Not Mother", and "Omhona Omhona". LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Alhaji Waziri OshomahAlhaji Waziri Oshomah Vol 4 ... LP
Shanu Olu/Luaka Bop, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Wonderfully intertwining lines of sound from the great Alhaji Waziri Oshomah – percolating percussion, bubbling basslines, sparkling guitar parts, and little touches of horns – all working almost at an organic level of groove, with a quality that's a lot more understated than work from some of his contemporaries! The vocals follow with an equally nice spirit – almost conversational, as if Alhaji is talking back and forth with the group as they build up the tunes – all long grooves, but never at a level that feels forced at all – on titles that include "Chief Mike Odidi", "Iyere Mecca London", "Imirunolu Agizoane", "Hungry Man Osamiogbewa", and "Chief Jo Omo Agba". LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Alhaji Waziri OshomahAlhaji Waziri Oshomah Vol 5 ... LP
Shanu Olu/Luaka Bop, 1984. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
There's a slight shift here from previous records from the great Alhaji Waziri Oshomah – some very slight use of drum machine elements in some of the rhythms, but never in a way that makes the tunes sound tinny at all – as the Alhaji and the rest of the group provide all their wonderful instrumentation over the top to warm things up – a cascading array of guitar parts, basslines, and other bits that all hold up to the fantastic legacy of his previous records! The production is great – warm enough to hold everything together – and as on previous records, all tracks are nice and long, with titles that include "Chief Danesi Aidoviogie", "Wegieme Khayeya", "Amie Khagieguegbe", and "Ame Ogiegie Udo Ogiegie". LP, Vinyl record album
