Bob OHIRI & HIS UHURU SOUNDS - Uhuru Aiye
SUPERFLY

Oh gosh, Superfly are spoiling us right here. True Nigerian Afro rock gold dust, Bob Ohiri’s 1977 album “Uhuru Aiye” has been known to fetch almost 2000 quid in the past. But not any more. Lovingly restored and remastered, presented with care and limited to 1000 copies, this historic psychedelic album is a total odyssey from the woozy, star-gazing layered chants and calls of “Aiye” to the crazy-tight highlife funk riffs and hip-swinging groove of “Imo State Express” by way of the powerful anthem “Africa Is Free For Us”, this is a fantastic excavation right here. Grab it while you can.
