In the accompanying words to the album Mnogobolje, Mario Batelić wrote: “The line-up is also somewhat irregular, featuring two double-bassists, a drummer and a guitarist whose role far exceeds what you might expect from a conventional rhythm section – that is, rather than laying the foundations for the rest of the band, they are equal partners in the creation of this multi-layered and highly rhythmically and melodically diverse music. The band clearly draw inspiration from free jazz, but you’ll also hear echoes or dustings of African music and the exploratory approaches of improvised and new music.”

Oholo! je ena redkih zasedb, ki z lahkoto spoji različne oblike jazza in afriških godb in jih pretvori v abstrakten zvok svobodne improvizirane glasbe, z zvrhano mero ritma in groovea. Ognjena in energetska bomba.
V spremni besedi albuma Mnogobolje je Mario Batelić zapisal: “Swinganja ali pozibavanja ne gre iskati med ritmičnimi vzorci in nalezljivimi melodijami, ki si jih lahko požvižgavamo, kot je bilo pravilo pri starih big bandih, marveč v nenehno poskakujoči in preskakujoči, gibljivi strukturi večslojnih skladb, v katerih se melodijski in ritmični motivi prosto sprehajajo in odmevajo med veščimi člani septeta.

"The core of the band Oholo! it is certainly in the pure love of the music. In doing so, one cannot overhear the boys going in breadth and depth in their doing, and without reserve to the end, and in a big arc they also avoid recycling impro history. At best, they only recycle themselves, but they remain an independent, indigenous and progressive unit."
Gregor Bauman, Odzven
