Description:

On the heels of his already critically acclaimed (yes, already!) retrospective, World Spirituality Classics 3: The Muslim Highlife of Alhaji Waziri Oshomah, Alhaji Waziri Oshomah â?? the Oyoyo King, the Godfather of Afemai Music, the Etsako Super Star, Mr. Please Please Please, Mr. Dynamite â?? returns with Vol. 3. Along with the other four volumes of the series, Vol. 3 is now availableâ??for the very first time!â??as part of a complete set (in a box): Vol 1 - 5 (1978 - 1985) (November 4, 2022). Waziri hails from a small part of Edo State in southern Nigeria called Afemailand, known for being a harmonious region where Muslims and Christians liveâ??and danceâ??together. And there, as a devout Muslim and an exemplar of religious piety in his community, Waziriâ??s music fuses Etsako/ Afemai folk styles with pan-Nigerian highlife and pop to create a sublime vehicle for his Islamic philosophy that gets everyoneâ??Muslims, Christians, whoeverâ??on the dancefloor. Every song on Vol. 3 (one of which you might recognize from The Muslim Highlife) strikes his signature balance of traditional music, highlife, and funk, as he entreats you to stay on the straight and narrow, though thereâ??s nothing straight about his beat. -

Part Three of Alhaji Waziri Oshomah?s five-part Volume Series, which is also available as a complete set (in a box).
