Bleep

Strut do the utterly righteous thing and reissue one their key titles on sumptuous black wax. This 26 track behemoth of a comp first surfaced way back in 2009 and help light the touch-flame for the following Afrobeat resurgence. Nigeria 70- Funky Lagos places this record. This is music that shows there’s more to Nigerian music than Fela, (although he does appear on the epic, ‘Jeun Ko Ku (Chop 'N' Quench)’ and the even bigger ‘Upside Down’) Onyeabor is here six years before anyone had heard of him, as is the mighty Sir Victor Uwaifo (further celebrated on the Soundway label). If you haven’t heard this record, get to know. Primest of prime primers that there has ever been on this time, place, space. Honest. Get Down!
