#144 Dr. Orlando Owoh & His Omimah Band - Ero Ki Yeye Mi
Orlando Owoh is a pretty big deal. Nigerian highlife is a pretty big deal. This tape enjoys that floaty highlife levitation thing but stays grounded with its ill battery of talking drums, etc. Juju refugees gone wild. Wayward highlife guitar meanderings jut out in the mix. It's all good. Watch out for calculated drum breaks toward the end of "Omiye Lala" and "Iyawo Olele."
This music on this tape was originally released in 1975, according to the meticulous Toshiya Endo.
Don't ask me why, but i really want to pursue my digging activities in the african sector..
