A household name in Nigeria, Dr. Orlando Owoh enjoyed a durable popularity that has cut across generational
lines in his home country and beyond. Leading groups such as the Omimah Band and the Young Kenneries,
Owoh remained popular even as Nigerian tastes shifted to the newer Juju and Fuji styles! Before this transition,
the hot style in Nigeria and Ghana was called Highlife. It developed from a traditional Yoruba genre called “palm
wine music”, overlaid with danceable guitar rhythms, and, in the hands of many musicians, it also contained a
strong element of Trinidadian calypso. Owoh combined this aesthetic with a traditionalist spin on things to make
his own brand of excellent sound.


Dr. Orlando Owoh And His Young Kenneries from 1977 comes
swinging right out of the gate with a set of no less than nine monster tunes. Expect nothing less than some of the
best traditional Juju, Yoruba and highlife tracks that will leave you captivated from start to end. This is a
quintessential record that every serious collector or fan needs to have in his/her collection.

Originally released in 1977 on Decca Records Nigeria, Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first official
reissue of this seminal album. This is also the first time the album is being released outside of the African
continent.
