I was so glad reading all your contributions towards Igbo Highlife music. For the last 40 years at least I had been collecting Igbo/Ghana highlife music and few Yorubas like Fatai Rolling Dollar. I have about 2000 albums now, many of the in vinyl format and worth a bit. I have to admit that I find very difficult to like any of the new generation highlife musician but I do have tome at time for one N.D Stanley (Arabanko) Onyenze (Osadebe's nephew) Darlington Nwangwu. Still from the old generation but still going strong is multi talented Goddy or Godwin Ezike (Khaki) If you haven't listen to Goddy Ezike before, you had missed a great deal, go today and start collecting his music and wow yourself. Most of his album you can buy from Amazon. Explore these artists too and you won't be disappointed: Aloy Anyanwu, Kabaka Int Guitar Band Imo Brothers, King Ubulu, Orlu Brothers, Mighty Iroko Band, Eddy Okwodi, Enugu Prism Band, Pele Asampete, Vincent Okoego-Ikenga Super Stars, Joe Nez, Dr Olololo & Mbaise Bros Band Helen William (Di Dim Uko) I saw a song on youtube. Okey Ihediora with the Orlu Bro Band (Okokporo) check youtube Tony Awoma Great Oriental (Splinter group from Oriental Bros) The Apostles Enyang Henshaw (Efik guy) Kingsley Bassey (Efik guy) Banigo Ahumaraeze (Uzo Ije shiri Ike) Nwokolobia Agu & NTA Enugu choir (Enenebe Eje Olu) Harcourt White (who conquered disability of leprosy and become genius musician/composer) Perry Ernest Douglas Ederi Chukwueke (Olariche Supersonic) Danny Orji (Eddy Kwansa-the music used in Zebrudaya intro) And many more. 1 Like |

pazienza: Don't believe those radio without power stories- Christogonus Ezewuiro Obinna a.k.a Dr. Sir Warrior died of diabetes after suffering for 10 good years. Believe it or not, he is a very good friend of mine since we met in 1985 in London, when he came to record his album-Anyi Nyiri Odo with his band and a friend introduced us.. His two grown up kids (Uche & Ajuzieogu) are big disappointment. They set a tone that they will copy their father with the album released after their father death in 1999 and that was it. Ajuzieogu I think reside in Chicago now after graduating from Abia State Uni, going around america with mic in his hand singing his fathers songs, over a CD PLAYER at any Igbo party going in the state. Peoples Club is still going but not as prestigious as it was when I joined in 1981 through my fathers recommendation. I still remember then that you have to have an asset worth at least 100k naira before you can become a member. LOL. Lots of money then though. My branch here in London still function but I hadly attend this days-full of noisy/show-off kids this days. |
