Oshomah is a direct musical descendant of King Sunny Ade’s, though his program is explicitly Muslim in a way that Sunny’s wasn’t. That doesn’t stop him from using the theatrics of Christian preachers and doing long, hammy interludes. The guitars are highlife but the surrounding rhythm tracks are looser and dirtier, less sparkly and lockstep than older juju acts.
