Babaliah Loves Ebenezer Obey



Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey is one of the most renowned Juju musician. Juju is a very modern musical styles from Nigeria and takes its musical roots in the Yoruba rythm tradition and chants. The multilayered guitar lines are calling and answering in a really original way. Ebenezer Obey seems to be a very innovative Juju musician, whose music, sometimes psychedelic, sometimes more deep, can be influenced by other musical styles, among which afrobeat, which is not unexpectable. But Obey also used somtimes the Blues scales and chords, and even latin rythms... I tried to show this diversity and modernity in this selection. Enjoy!
