Itunes.Apple.Com/WebObjects/MZStore.Woa/wa/viewAlbum Label Premier Music/51Lex If One Artist Can Be Said To Epitomize The Soul Of Ndi Igbo The Igbo People Of Southeastern Nigeria It Is Mike Ejeagha Born August 1932 In Imezi Owa In The Former Eastern Region Of Nigeria Today Eziagu LGA Enugu State. Very Much In The "deep" Igbo Folk Culture Tradition Of His Native Enugu Area Ejeagha's Lyrics Are Full Of The Parables & Shaded Meanings That Are The Essence Of Igbo Culture. His Arrangements & Guitar Work In Addition Are Sublime. Ejeagha Learned To Play Guitar From Two Fellow Residents Of The Coal-Mining Camps Of Enugu Moses "Moscow" Aduba And Cyprian Ozochiawa. Around The Age Of 18 He Formed His First Musical Group Mike Ejeagha And The Merry Makers. Soon He Was Performing And Producing For Nigeria Broadcasting Services And Later Joined The Paradise Rhythm Orchestra A Group Owned By An Enugu Hotelier And The Leisure Gardens Dance Band. He Founded The Rhythm Dandies In 1964 Which Later Changed Its Name To The Premiers Dance Band. The Group Was Forced To Disperse During The Biafran War Of Independence In The Late '60s But Reformed After Hostilities Ended In 1970. Since The Early 1970s Mike Ejeagha's Musical Explorations Of Igbo Folklore Have Earned Him A Much-Beloved Place In The Pantheon Of Modern Igbo Highlife Music. Much Of The Information In This Biographical Sketch Of Mike Ejeagha Is Taken From "Life At Old Age Is Quite Enjoyable " An Interview By Nwagbo Nnenyelike Which Appeared In The Sun Of Lagos Nigeria On October 15 2004. By Ejeagha's Own Account He Recorded 33 Albums Not All Of Which Are Listed Here. Some Of The Titles Listed Here Also Lack Recording Data. Any Information On These Recordings Is Solicited And Very Much Appreciated. It Is Hoped That The Publication Of This Admittedly Incomplete Discography Will Help To Rescue This Consummate And Influential Musician From His Undeserved Obscurity. read less
