Nkem Njoku & 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 & 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.
