Nigeria 70 (Lagos Jump: Afrobeat Highlife & Afro-Funk) Vinyl - 2008 UK Double Vinyl 2LP Compilation Strut – STRUT035LP

Overview:

It was the sound of post-independence Nigeria, a time of celebration and wealth but, ultimately, of political oppression. The music reflected the times - a heady mix of traditional rhythms and big band highlife with the new rock, soul and jazz sounds crackling through transistor radios from Europe and the U.S. The rulebook of Nigerian musical heritage was ripped up as SANTANA, THE BEATLES and JAMES BROWN became as relevant to young players as HARUNA ISHOLA, VICTOR OLAIYA and E. T. MENSAH. Led by the towering influence of FELA KUTI, established Nigerian stars and the rawest of college bands alike forged new fusions and began using their music confidently as a vehicle for new variations of traditional parables and social commentary. Back in 2001, the first edition of NIGERIA 70 on Strut broke the mould for African compilations. For 2008, Strut delves deeper into the Lagos underground for NIGERIA 70: (Lagos Jump: Original Heavyweight Afrobeat, Highlife & Afro-Funk), another essential Double LP Set of West African dynamite with the emphasis firmly on the dancefloor. From the heavy jazz of Peter King to Bola Johnson’s scratchy Afro funk and the rolling grooves of juju legend Sir Shina Peters, the double album captures a rich and unique era in West African music.
