And there, as a devout Muslim and an exemplar of religious piety in his community, Waziri's music fuses Etsako\/Afemai folk styles with pan-Nigerian highlife and pop to create a sublime vehicle for his Islamic philosophy that gets everyone-Muslims, Christians, whoever-on the dancefloor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVol. 4 focuses on Waziri's illustrious mid-career output-the music he created during the years leading up to and after he performed his first hajj. Every song here-none of which appear on the compilation-strikes his signature balance of traditional music, highlife, and funk, as he entreats you to stay on the straight and narrow, though there's nothing straight about his beat. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC: 680899504812\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alhaji Waziri Oshomah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841264922875,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0431\/2606\/3262\/files\/AlhajiWaziriOshomahvol4.jpg?v=1778684746","url":"https:\/\/rustandwax.com\/products\/vol-5","provider":"Rust \u0026 Wax Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
