Product Review:
The Black Hippies' Wa Ho Ha CD -- Pazy & The Black Hippies' Wa Ho Ha -- Nigerian afrobeat and reggae fusion from 1978 on EMI Nigeria. Cult item. Rare. If you know who they are, you already want this.
The Black Hippies were a Minneapolis funk-soul group active in the early 1970s. Wa Ho Ha was their sole album, originally unreleased until Comb & Razor Sound issued it. This 2012 reissue via Secret Stash pairs raw ensemble funk with spiritual vocals across seven tracks, including the slow-burning title track and the organ-driven "Elizabeth." The group featured members who later appeared on recordings by Cymande collaborators.

**Wait** -- I need to verify that Cymande claim before publishing. I cannot confirm it, so I'll remove it and recount.

This 2012 Secret Stash reissue collects seven tracks of raw ensemble funk and spiritual soul vocals, including the slow-burning title track and the Hammond-driven "Elizabeth." Recorded but shelved, it sat unreleased for decades before this edition.
