Funky Black Africa,

This review is from: Nigeria 70 - Lagos Jump (MP3 Download)
This is a great album showing the fertile popular music environment of the post-colonial 70s where high-life found fenders and branched out into a mind-expanding brew of African rhythms and funk. The most notable monument of that era is Fela Kuti's Afropop movement, but artists like Ify Jerry's Crusade and the Peacocks Guitar Band are proof that other Nigerians were putting out credible offerings in the Afro-psychedelic period.

Jump Indeed!,

This review is from: Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump (Audio CD)
A lot of reviewers have compared this to the similarly timed Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds and Nigerian Blues. I like them both, but I give this one the edge - it feels less fluffy, more experimental, better sequenced, and a bit more funky. Bola Johnson's Ezuku Buzu feels every bit the little atomic weapon that James Brown's Sex Machine is. Peacock's Guitar Band is mesmerizing. There are really no boring songs.Really, the recent Nigerian 70's releases bring back THE HOOK. Find that groove and do it to death! Get this album and you'll wake up in the morning humming these hooks to yourself ... or else I feel really sorry for you. |
