The new album comes with introductory sleeve-notes by Bill Brewster (author of Last Night A DJ Saved My Life).brbrPacked full with Afro-Funk, Disco, and Boogie all from Nigeria, this triple albumdouble CD set brings together a stunning collection of diverse West African sounds. Whilst a small handful of the artists featured (Joni Haastrup, Tee Mac, Christy Essien) have seen the light of day outside Africa, this is essentially a collection of killer tracks by an array of artists completely unknown outside of Nigeria. Artists include such as Don Bruce \u0026amp; The Angels, Akin Richards \u0026amp; The Executives, Angela Starr, and Jimmy Sherry \u0026amp; The Music Agents. It's no surprise that these records are extremely rare and expensive to buy individually so this album will save you going broke trying to find them.brbrThese recordings were made at a time when Nigeria's trade restrictions banned imported records. Whilst new musical trends (such as American soul, funk, disco etc.) entered and influenced the country, the local music scene remained just that - local. Consequently, these recordings remain practically unknown to anyone outside of the country.brbrNigeria Soul Fever is released as double-CD digipack. This album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' 1960s collection Nigeria Freedom Sounds, released last month, and will be followed by the reissue of the incredibly rare and groovy Nigerian 1980 disco boogie funk album, Tee Mac's Night Illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 5026328103440\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460006281513,"sku":"40169795551416","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51WiK66TI_L.jpg?v=1762031356","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/nigeria-soul-fever-afro-funk-disco-and-boogie-west-african-disco-mayhem","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
