If you are a fan of the Ethiopiques Series, a collection of Ethiopian Jazz, Funk, and pop from the 60s and 70s, then you might also enjoy Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-sounds & Nigerian Blues 1970-76.
Here is a selection:
[Mp3]REMOVED
I love Celestine Ukwu's use of slide guitar on this afro-funk jam. It sways back and forth like a swing: waves over which a pert trumpet and then bright guitar improvise.
As a bonus here is one of my favorite songs from the Ethiopique Series: [Mp3]REMOVED. The organ emotes a quick-fingered lament in the intervals of Mahmound Ahmed's soulful verse.
Speaking of Ethiopia . . .
