Our latest JAZZIZ Travel podcast is a conversation with Yale Evelev, record producer and co-owner of Luaka Bop with David Byrne. The conversation covers the identity and history of the label, particularly in the context of its World Spirituality Classics series, a series of spiritual music from around the globe. The recently-released third volume in this series is a compilation of recordings by Alhaji Waziri Oshomah.

A devout Muslim and a pillar in his local community, Alhaji Waziri Oshomah makes a unique form of dance music that's fused with local folk styles, pan-Nigerian highlife and Western pop, creating a singular sound that epitomizes Afenmailand's ethos of togetherness. The seven-track featured on The Muslim Highlife of Alhaji Waziri Oshomah were recorded between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s.
