Our Take

What a treat we have here with the 25th Anniversary Edition of Nigeria 70: The Definitive Guide To 1970s Funky Lagos. This compilation album, pressed on stunning translucent green vinyl, serves up a delicious slice of Lagosian funk that will have you grooving all night long.

From the funky basslines to the infectious rhythms, this album transports you back to the golden era of Nigerian music, when Lagos was the epicentre of the Afrobeat sound. Each track is like a mini history lesson, showcasing the diverse range of musical talent that emerged from the bustling city.

Standout tracks include the hypnotic "Chief Checker" by Chief Checker, the soulful "Love Affair" by Joni Haastrup, and the afro-funk masterpiece "Woman Made The Devil" by Bongos Ikwue. These songs not only showcase the incredible musicianship of the artists but also provide a glimpse into the vibrant cultural scene of 1970s Lagos.

Overall, Nigeria 70 is a must-have for any funk aficionado or music lover looking to expand their musical horizons. So grab a glass of palm wine, put on your dancing shoes, and let the funky sounds of Lagos transport you to a bygone era of musical greatness. Cheers to another 25 years of Strut Records and the timeless music they continue to champion.
