{"product_id":"melvin-ukachi-ofege-as-one-i-am-ok","title":"Melvin Ukachi - Ofege As One - I Am Ok","description":"Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Rare Nigerian Afrobeat-Afropop album from 1985. Melvin Ukachi needs little introduction, the Lagos (Nigeria) based vocalist and bandleader is a living legend. Melvin is known for his fantastic solo albums, his vocals for the afrobeat star-groups M.F.B. and Ozzobia... but his biggest legacy is without a doubt him being the singer and bandleader of Ofege. On (I Am OK, the listener is treated to Ofege's trademark sound... but we're also shown a perfect glimpse of the late 70's afrobeat works combining soul, jazzy rhythms, William Onyeabor style laid back electro funk synths \u0026amp; fluid boogie-danceability. The female backing vocals and handclaps by Princess Bunmi Olajubu (Femi Kuti) also deserve a special mention because they add so much depth and grooves to this amazing record.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50734828880187,"sku":"735202315385","price":32.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1597\/2667\/files\/4053367-2786600.jpg?v=1763492023","url":"https:\/\/store.loudwire.com\/products\/melvin-ukachi-ofege-as-one-i-am-ok","provider":"Loudwire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
