{"product_id":"ozobia-special","title":"Ozobia Special { vinyl }","description":"Nkem Njoku \u0026amp; Ozzobia Sound's one and only album, Ozobia Special, is an early 80s Igbo Highlife masterpiece, drawing on Ghana Highlife as well as traditional Ogene 6\/8 bell tempos.    Nkem Njoku's only album as leader, this LP epitomizes the feel-good, gospel-tinged party atmosphere of Igbo Highlife, with John Kante's soukous guitar scales interweaving the sharp sax\/ trumpet line-up, which includes the legendary Ray Stephen Oche, whose two scarce albums with his band Matumbo are big afro-jazz collectors' items, reissued several times over the years.    Percussion section includes the prolific Smart 'Friday Pozo' Thompson, whose session credits read like a 'who's who' of contemporary West African music and include many gigs on Tabansi artists' albums.    The razor-sharp production sound, as so often on the best Tabansi Highlife and boogie sessions, is down to multi-keyboardist Jake Sollo.    An early 80s Igbo Highlife masterpiece- the only album by Nkem Njoku \u0026amp; Ozzobia Brothers. Part of BBE's Tabansi Gold Series of rare African reissues. The first time this album has been issued anywhere outside Africa. Full global press and radio campaign: USA by Scorepress, France by H.I.M. Media.","brand":"Nkem Njoku \u0026 Ozzobia Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53863349420369,"sku":"194491872755.0","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6721\/3905\/files\/3813108-2559042.jpg?v=1779781748","url":"https:\/\/vinylgroove.shop\/products\/ozobia-special","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
