Sir Victor Uwaifo & his Melody Maestroes: "Ekassa. Modern Music of African Folklore" (Philips, 1971)

Sir Victor Uwaifo (born 1941; the 'Sir' is apocryphal) is a Nigerian musician, famous for his joromi music.
In addition to being one of the flashiest and hardest working Nigerian musicians of the highlife era, Sir Victor Uwaifo was almost certainly the most ingenious. Never content to follow the boilerplate of the highlife mainstream or to slavishly ape imported trends, Uwaifo built his reputation on ostentatious showmanship and the judicious mining of the legends and songs of his native Edo culture, which he repackaged as newfangled pop: modern music of African folklore.
