The last (but certainly not the least) volume in Alhaji Waziri Oshomah’s five-part Volume Series- which is also now available for the first time as a complete set (in a box). - - 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 — the Oyoyo King the Godfather of Afemai Music the Etsako Super Star Mr. Please Please Please Mr. Dynamite — returns with Vol. 5. - - Waziri hails from a small part of Edo State in southern Nigeria called Afemailand known for being a harmonious region where Muslims and Christians live—and dance—together. And there as a devout Muslim and an exemplar of religious piety in his community Waziri’s music fuses Etsako/Afemai folk styles with pan-Nigerian highlife and pop to create a sublime vehicle for his Islamic philosophy that gets everyone—Muslims Christians whoever—on the dancefloor. - - Vol. 5 focuses on Waziri’s illustrious mid-career output—the music he created during the years leading up to and after he performed his first hajj. Every song here—none of which appear on the compilation—strikes his signature balance of traditional music highlife and funk as he entreats you to stay on the straight and narrow though there’s nothing straight about his beat.
