\nWe return once again to the Niger River Delta<\/a>, and some more Ijaw-language highlife music in the style known as awijiri<\/i>. The rather melancholy vocals and understated guitar work of this music have grown on me over the years – I can’t get enough of it! I can tell you nothing about the Ebiogbo International Band other than they were from the small town of Agoloma on the Forcados River in Delta State.<\/div>\n

Here is the one album by the Ebiogbo International Band that I’m aware of, Akpoesololo <\/i>(Sann Records SR 3, 1984). Enjoy!<\/p>\n
