A landmark field recording, exquisitely done, ambient and intimate, with beautiful music, and documentation by Colin Turnbull. A hit with Peter Brook, anyway.
It says 'Volume 1' on the cover, and this debut is full of promise, but it's a one-off, from Nigeria, 1973: African styles grooving together with Latin and Caribbean, US soul and funk, and psych rock.
Two reissues of rocking Nigerian Afro-funk, co-presented with Tim Love Lee's trojan Tummy Touch label. Yes, Tim!
Engaged and spiritual Yoruban blues-rock from Joni Haastrup’s band in 1974.
Terrific funky Afro-disco from mid-seventies Nigeria, with the trademark startling electronics and sick synth-work of producer William Onyeabor. Eclectic, thrillingly entertaining.
Two 'ancestor tales' taking us back five hundred years, recited by Jibo Baje, who accompanies himself on the three-string moolo — the last griot standing with the knowledge and skills to do this.
Rugged songs with gurumi lute accompaniment to celebrate the opening of the bush, summon genies, honour animals and praise huntsmen.
Music for spirit possession ceremonies, performed on the goge, a bowed single-string spike-fiddle — a half-calabash covered in iguana skin, with a wooden neck, and a string made of bunched horsehair.
Blistering Fela-inspired Afro-funk, as if in cahoots with the recent Now Again haymaker — Lagos micro to its cross-continental macro, a double whammy and a half. The vinyl set has no less than five exclusives.
