In this special priced collection you will find a wide variety of exciting African sounds created in Nigeria from the late 1950's up to the late 1980's. All the songs are taken from recent or upcoming releases on Vampisoul's massive Western African reissue project so consider it an apetizer!
On "Afrobeat Nirvana" music speaks for itself in its conflation of African tradition, Jazz, Highlife, Psych, Funk, Soul, R&B and - of course - AFROBEAT. Some of the names here are familiar to our occidental ears, such as the great Tony Allen, Orlando Julius, and of course Fela Kuti (here in his early years). But there are plenty of others, more obscure and mindblowing artists, in here such as Godwin Omobuwa, Dr.Victor Olaiya, Bola Johnson, Fred Fisher and Opotopo. Equally hot and vibrant, these will be a total finding for you.
"Afrobeat Nirvana" is the perfect introduction to the almighty African sounds and rhythms… and soon to be one of your favourite compilations. In any case, one thing's for sure, if you don't feel like moving when you hear this stuff go to your doctore: you're probably dead! |
