Holy Grail of Afro-Soul. Ultra rare and 2nd album recorded in 1978 in Nigeria by a 6 band members from Porto Novo, a city based in the east part of Benin. 600 copy press only!
Infos about the band remained really hard to find, sadly all the musicians died, as did the lead singer in a tragic car accident.
After its 1st album in 1976, Ogassa (“Oga” means master in Nigerian dialect) was touring a lot in all West-Africa, thanks to radio hits such as “Segbele-Gbele”, or “Ajimevi”. They were also very close from the famous Orchestre Poly- Rythmo de Cotonou, with whom they worked together once in a few.
Most of these songs were only pressed once on vinyl by the famous Albarika label in Cotonou and have remained unreleased since. |
