Nigeria Soul Fever..Afro Funk, Disco and Boogie...West African Disco Mayhem!

Soul Jazz Records' Nigeria Soul Fever is their first release to explore the vast wealth of Nigerian music recorded in the 1970's. The album comes with introductory sleeve-notes by Bill Brewster (author of Last Night A DJ Saved My Life).

Packed full with Afro-Funk, Disco, and Boogie all from Nigeria, this 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 and The Angels, Akin Richards and The Executives, Angela Starr, and Jimmy Sherry and 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.

These 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.
