On the heels of his already critically acclaimed (yes, already!) forthcoming retrospective, World Spirituality Classics 3: The Muslim Highlife of Alhaji Waziri Oshomah, Alhaji Waziri Oshomah - the Oyoyo King, the Godfather of Afemai Music, the Etsako Super Star, Mr. Please Please Please, Mr. Dynamite - returns with his complete Volume Series, compiled for the first time in a 5 CD box set with 30 page booklet!-Waziri hails from a small part of Edo State in southern Nigeria called Afemailand, known for being a harmonious region where Muslims and Christians live - and dance - together. And there, as a devout Muslim and an exemplar of religious piety, Waziri fuses Etsako/Afemai folk styles with pan-Nigerian highlife and pop to create a sublime vehicle for his Islamic philosophy that gets everyone - Muslims, Christians, whoever - on the dancefloor.-This 5 CD set, Vol. 1-5 (1978-1984), focuses on Waziri's illustrious mid-career output - the music he created during the years leading up to and after he performed his first hajj (you might recognize some of the hits from The Muslim Highlife) - and includes a copy of The Journey So Far, a limited-edition book written and designed by his children, to celebrate Waziri's remarkable life and career.Vol. 1 (1978)1 Forgive Them Oh God Amin - Amin2 Emoi Khakiegwi Aghumheile3 Igwegi Baba4 Iyuchele OpomumheVol. 2 (1979)1 Alhaji Yesufu Sado - Managing Director - Alhaji Y.
