Sweet Times, indeed – Strut Records returns for another truly great volume in their Nigeria 70 series – this one covering the highlife, juju and Afro Funk music of Lagos in the 1970s – stellar material that has never been issued outside of Nigeria before now! There's a pretty diverse cross section of the sounds coming from the region at the time – from upbeat funky Afro Soul to psyche-infused guitar and percussion jams, jazzier instrumentation and impassioned vocals – most crucially, fusions of jazz, funk, soul, juju and highlife. Wonderful, wonderful material that stands proudly with the other great entries in the series.
Huge fan of this series. Volume One fetches some dough on vinyl these days.... Not givin' up my copy though! Nice to see the folks from Strut are back up and running and once again bringing the goods to the headz!
Lifted from DUSTYGROOVE Buy it there!
