Im 20. Jahr des Label-Bestehens präsentiert Strut 2019 die bereits vierte Compilation in der "Nigeria 70" Reihe mit Afro-Funk und Juju aus den 1970er & -80er Jahren. Zusammengestellt vom Sammler und DJ Duncan Brooker erscheinen die meisten Aufnahmen überhaupt zum ersten Mal außerhalb Nigeria. Für Fans von: Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Victor Uwaifo, Seun Kuti, Lijadu Sisters, William Onyeabor, Ebenezer Obey, Africa Express, Tony Allen, Odion Iruoje, Orlando Julius, Francis Bebey, E.T. Mensah.
The compilation returns to a fertile heyday in Nigerian music when established styles like highlife and juju became infused with elements of Western jazz, soul and funk and musicians brought a proud new message post-independence. Brooker places the spotlight particularly on some of the incredible Ukwuani musicians from the Delta State region as guitarist Rogana Ottah and Steady Arobby’s International Brothers Band forged their own fluid brand of highlife and soulman Don Bruce drew on the US R&B greats for a series of great albums and explosive stage shows at his residency at Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
Elsewhere, the album explores the close connection between Nigeria and Benin’s music, most famously through Sir Victor Uwaifo, appearing here with a killer mid-‘80s ekassa jam, as well as highlife hitmaker Osayamore Joseph on ‘Obonogbozu’ (Joseph made headlines in Nigeria for very different reasons in 2017, surviving a one month kidnapping ordeal).
Other tracks include ‘Sickness’ a 1979 lament on how all countries share troubles by Prince Nico Mbarga, the Nigerian / Camerounian star behind the smash hit ‘Sweet Mother’; reggae singer Felixson Ngasia switches to funk and disco for a heavy workout with potent lyrics around black identity; another major highlife great Etubom Rex Williams unleashes a punchy psych funk gem with ‘Psychedelic Shoes’ and Africa 70 member Pax Nicholas vocals a simmering Afrobeat groove from Jacob Lee’s Saxon Lee & The Shadows International Band.
‘Nigeria 70: No Wahala’ iis released on 29th March 2019 on CD, 2LP and digital. All tracks have been restored by See Why Audio and mastered by The Carvery. The package features comprehensive sleeve notes including exclusive interviews with some of the original artists. - Tracklist
