"Over the past couple of years, Acid Jazz have been re-issuing releases from the enigmatic Albarika Store label, a goldmine in Afro cuts from Benin, West Africa. The latest instalment is the ultra-rare ‘Ogassa Original Vol. 1’, the first LP from obscure but ultimately brilliant Porto Novo group, Ogassa, from 1978. Like many Albarika releases, it was recorded at EMI Lagos, giving a depth and fidelity that stands out in the realm of Afro rarities. Reissued in full, with the original artwork, for the very first time, a must have for Afro collectors and completists alike."
