For years, that record was something you found in an uncle’s collection or on collectors’ lists. Now a 2024 remaster from Unearthed African Recordings has brought it back to streaming, and the song has even been played on London’s NTS Radio.
It is part of the same push that returned Ugussey’s “Egbile Isoko” and Popular Cooper’s “Uguse, Ogbaile Isoko” to a new generation. Ozoro people, this one belongs to you.
