This is a great album. And even better it comes with a story.

I found the album posted at the Snap Crackle & Pops blog along with this interesting description:

"According to John at Likembe this album is not by The Nkengas, but is actually a recording by Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe and His Nigerian Soundmakers."

Digging a bit deeper I found this on the Likembe blog:

"The Ikengas were born in 1973 as "The Nkengas" when they split from bandleader Osita Osadebe, in the process hijacking the master tape that became the legendary Nkengas in London ."

So the band members left the band and took the tapes. This, my friends, is an example of why record producers have come to rely so heavily on computer generated riddims sad to say..

Listening to this wonderful album thirty-six years after its release the unmistakable voice of Chief Stephen Osadebe is as plain as day. But no where on the cover is the name "Stephen Osadebe" to be found. So it goes.

In any case it's a great album. Check it out.

Special thanks to Snap Crackle & Pops for posting the files for this album and more.

King Sunny Ade - "I started with percussion. At the age of seven, I would like to follow my mother to church and they had some percussion there where they would play traditional music. I always liked to be in between those people playing percussion. From there, I started touching the drums. My mother and family didn't want me to do that though. Occassionally, I would go there and I was very small among the percussionists there. So what I do was I would make sure some people would be covering me so when my mother would look back, I would try to dogde her. One person would be in front of me like a human shield. My father was a real slow, careful man, doing everything in a deliberate way, even moving a chair. But that didn't go with the kind of music I wanted to play - I wanted people to SWEAT. When he died, only my mother could stop me. So I would explain to her, 'this is the world that I want to chose. Let me go.'" -(taken from KSA's interview with Jason Gross, june 1998)

If anyone has the files for side two of this record or for the album cover they would be greatly appreciated. I can always be reached at my youtube channel.

Special thank you to everyone for visiting this blog. Thank you and cheers from Miami, USA.

Music is Universal.
