OZO
Listen To The Buddha
DJM Records DJLPA-4 12" 33rpm 1976 (USA)
For the hip hop-crazy generation, his name may not ring a bell. But he's not strange to music lovers of the 1970s. This young but talented man had put Nigeria on the musical world map by the virtue of a song he did way back in 1977. The track, Listen to the Buddha had topped the global music chart, earning the artiste fame and fortune. Keni St. George popularly known as Ozo, the Buddhist subsequently released 14 albums but only one was marketed in Nigeria due to piracy.
Now going by the name Abdullahi Keni, Ozo, who has lived most of his life in England, is back with his last and final album. Blockbuster recently had an encounter with the environmental, human and animal rights activist, who is also a Buddhist monk. He spoke extensively about his music, life in London and his forthcoming book, among others:
I am Abdullahi Keni St. George. I am from Okohia, Ihialla, Anambra State. I have been living in the United Kingdom with my family since 1967. I'm married with four children, Eliza, Gozie Hannah, Zainab Alexandra Nkechi and Zen my boy, all grown up. They are in their 20s and 30s and all married. I am an international environmental, human and animal rights activist. I did the world famous album, Listen to the Buddha in 1977 and I am back to music now. The Letter O for Obama - The Chain is Broken is going to be my last album. It is a 12-tracker from which I have pulled out the legendary song, Listen to the Buddha and backed it up with Mandela (Vulture Park) which is a freedom mix.

Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,
