Gasper Lawal - Ajomase (Nigeria 1980)

Roddus Album Of The Day No.2


  
01. Jekajose (0:57)
02. Kita-Kita (3:41)
03. Eronu (6:04)
04. Ajomase (5:47)
05. Awon-Ojse-Oluwa (6:21)
06. Oro-Moro (6:33)
07. Saikoskro (5:04)

And here is the other Gasper album I also really like and this one is also rare as hens teeth. An earlier effort than the first one reviewed and a bit more afrofunky, but overall these albums are very similar even considering the time between them. This is not a bad thing and all of the positive things I said about "Abiosunni" also apply to this LP, not to mention the effortless playing of the musicians and the sound quality of the recording, which enables the careful listener to pick out all the subtle shades interwoven into this music. Another highly recommended platter. My Rating 4.5/5.
