Nigeria Afrobeat Special

Interpreter: Various Artists
Label: Soundway Records
Location: Nigeria

Following the arrival of Fela Kuti and Africa 70, Nigerian music was never the same again. Afro-beat seized the reins, and musicians followed Kuti's Pied Piper call. This release provides an overview of the scene at the time, with 11 tracks including one from the master himself.
