Short intro

Album 2008 16 Songs. Capturing a fruitful time in the countrys history, Nigeria 70 shows local bands and hitmakers embracing and reinventing a wide swath of sounds. Nigeria 70 - Lagos Jump Various Artists. Various Artists. Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump. The 2001 three-CD compilation Nigeria 70 was revelatory in that it introduced Westerners to the reality of post-independence Nigeria: that there was plenty of other music - music of great variety - to be found in the country besides that of Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade although they too were included in the set. Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump takes it to the next step by digging deep and coming up with 16 obscure tracks that, like its predecessor, run the gamut stylistically. Lagos Jump. NIGERIA 70 Artist Format: Audio CD. Nigeria 70 - Lagos Jump. Please retry. NIGERIA 70: NO WAHALA: HIGHLIFE, AFRO-FUNK & JUJU 1973-1987 by VARIOUS ARTISTS Audio CD . In Stock. Ships from and sold by . But even amidst all those releases, Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump isn't an afterthought- it is, after all, the followup to one of the most crucial Afrobeat comps, 2001's Nigeria 70: The Definitive Story of 1970's Funky Lagos. The original Nigeria 70 was released four years after Fela Kuti's death and in the midst of a renewed interest in Afrobeat- Femi Kuti's Fight to Win enlisted Mos Def and Common in a hip hop crossover bid, and Antib. Released: May 2008. Label: Strut. Post-Nigerian independence, pre-civil war, these Lagos hipsters were at the forefront of a musical scene that held Fela Kuti as its patron saint and James Brown arguably as god. The singing guitars hit sparkling highlife highs one minute and the musty depths of funk the next, while the talking drums issue straight from Africa's heart. 16 tracks 77:23.
