NIGERIA 70 - LAGOS JUMP

sous-titre: "Original heavyweight afrobeat highlife & afro-funk".

"A killer follow-up to the earlier Nigeria 70 compilation on Strut Records -- a second set that digs even deeper than before, and one that shows a huge range of Nigerian grooves from the 70s! The styles here go way beyond familiar Afro Funk -- and the rhythms here are often quite complicated -- rootsy at times, modern at others -- and served up in a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation that dances together wonderfully! Most numbers have vocals, but those are often delivered as rhythmically as the instrumentation -- and the package is filled with under-reissued gems that make the package an essential addition to any collection of global grooves. As with other sets on the newly-revived Strut label, there's full notes on the music and track-by-track details -- all supporting a set list of 16 titles." (www.dustygroove.com)
