With the exception of Ebenezer Obey, nearly all the Nigerian musicians of the 1960s through the ‘80s on these two compilations are little known.Yet the endlessly inventive guitars, the horns and voices and, of course, the percussion, is a revelation, even in a year when we are blessed with a cornucopia of African compilations from that golden era. Good sound, wild cover art, and available in LP form as well, from Honest Jons (a label co-owned by Gorillaz/Blur singer Damon Albarn).
