By grounding his music in such profound, relatable wisdom, Osadebe created an emotional connection with his audience that ensured the song’s timeless appeal.
“Osondi Owendi” stands as a testament to Osadebe’s mastery of the highlife genre. He pioneered a distinct style by weaving together traditional Igbo rhythms with Western musical influences like jazz, calypso, and rumba.
This fusion resulted in a relaxed yet infectious sound, characterized by a smooth bassline, rhythmic call-and-response vocals, and the elegant interplay of horns and guitars.
