the lab review

Soundway continues their thorough documentation of Nigerian music with this compilation of funky, fuzzy psych sounds. Largely inspired by Ginger Baker during his visits to their country in the early 70s, the young Nigerian bands here (a few of whom you'll recognize from previous Soundway comps) fuse the heavy rhythms of traditional West African music with soul, funk and far out rock to create some ridiculously original, completely infectious grooves. Tracks to check: Joe King Kologbo & His Black Sounds' "Another Man's Thing," Ofo The Black Company's "Enario," The Funkees' "Acid Rock," Ofege's "Adieu," Tabukah "X's" "Finger Toe" and Original Wings' "Igba Alusi." 15 tracks; 68 minutes.
