The original album was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria about 1978, with a group of crack Nigerian session men. The album was called "Home Made", and was quite a success in Nigeria and Cameroon, because the tunes were real down home African music, done real Fela style. By this I mean that the signature tunes "A freak sans fric" and "Oh Koh" were long dance floor scorchers that held the folks attention for a few years. "Oh Koh" is a cover of an old Douala hit from the 1960s. Who remembers her?
Ecoutez ce sax qui se perd dans les ruisseaux de la bonne complexité sinueuse du son simple du génie de ce graaaand musicien qu'est MANU hors mis FELA ou RAY LEMA qui dit mieux!!!!! merçi MANU !!!
