LAGOS DISCO INFERNO!

After reissuing killer 70s Afro/Psych/Funk From Ofege, SJOB Movement and The Mebusas, NYC's Academy Records joins forces with Frank from Voodoo Funk to release the double LP (CD) compilation, LAGOS DISCO INFERNO. Grittier and rawer than American or European disco, with distinctive African influences, the compilation is a fascinating and FUNKY look at the disco scene of 1970s Lagos, Nigeria. Check the promo video below.
