Ebenezer Obey – The Horse The Man And His Son?

Ebenezer Obey is one the masters of Nigerian juju music. He made so many records. I just happen to have this one on cassette, and it just kills. If I don’t get lost in the Yoruba language vocals, the secret discourse between guitar and drums makes me dance. You know: that really mellow kind of dance that rich people did at socialites’ parties in 1970s Lagos? Yeah, you know the one.
