About Nigeria Rock Special
A fascinating look at the underground Rock scene in 1970s Nigeria, this unique collection shines a light on the flipside to the well-documented sounds of Highlife and Afrobeat coming out of Nigeria in the 1970s – young bands caught up in the wave of Psychedelic and Progressive Rock that was sweeping Europe and the States in the late 60s and early 70s. The sounds of Jimi Hendrix and bands like Santana had started to seep into the mainly soul–based sets of a handful of young bands playing Western-influenced pop in West Africa. Spurred on by Cream drummer Ginger Baker’s visits to Lagos and his band Airforce (featuring many Nigerian musicians), the sound of fuzzed-out Rock reverberated around the universities and nightspots of Lagos and Ibadan. 1 Ofege – Adieu 2 The Action 13 – More Bread To The People 3 The Hygrades– In The Jungle (Instrumental) 4 The Wings– Odenigbo 5 Ofo The Black Company– Eniaro 6 The Elcados– Ku Mi Da Hankan 7 Mono Mono – Kenimania 8 Tabukah 'X'– Finger Toe 9 The Funkees – Acid Rock 10 Colomach– Cotocun Gba Gounke 11 Joe King Kologbo & His Black Sound– Another Man's Thing 12 Question Mark – Freaking Out 13 Original Wings– Igba Alusi 14 Tunji Oyelana– Omoba D'Eru Ri 15 BLO– Chant To Mother Earth
