V/A Nigeria Special: Volume 2 (Modern Highlife, Afro Sounds & Nigerian Blues 1970-6) CD

opakowanie: digipack + książeczka

“Yep, there was a lot going on down in Nigeria way in the early ‘70s and this is the only guide book you’ll need.” Clash

Nigeria Special 2 is the second part to the best selling Nigeria Special album released to critical acclaim in 2007 and further extends the look at the most exciting period in Nigeria’s recording history.

The range of styles vary from highlife to Juju and Nigerian blues in the languages of Yoruba, Igbo, Bini and Ijaw. With a peppering of ‘afro’ experimentation the same musical stew pervades volume 2 as it’s predecessor – some artists appear again alongside some new artists as the emphasis continues to focus on the laid back and mid tempo feel found on volume 1.
