The album was released in 1980 by Ebenezer Obey and his group His Inter-Reformers Band. Using the Yoruba percussion style of his roots as a format, he has developed a highlife style mixed with juju, a style of local music from Nigeria and Mali. It is a long song of more than 17 minutes that fully uses both sides of the board, with the comfortable vibrating rhythm of the talking drums, the flowing slide guitar unique to juju, and the soft and gentle vocals.
