| AZAGAS AND ARCHIBOGS | 60'S SOUND OF LAGOS HIGHLIFE | OMCD014 | CD | 11.99 | COL |
The sum total of knowledge about African music acquired by everybody who has ever cared hardly amounts to the proverbial drop in the bucket - and this is the music we know reasonably well. As regards many styles - and very resent, popular, big city sounds at that, not recondite traditions of tiny, isolated groups - we've barely tripped of the bucket itself. That's the case with Nigerian dance-band highlife. It was one of the greatest of African urban dance-band traditions (dance-band meaning a group using wind instruments as well as guitars and percussion). The Nigerian bands had a flair for brass and sax playing that stemmed from the old Calabar brass-bands of the 1930's, a wild edged jauntiness that made their Ghanaian mentors - E. T. Mensah and the like - seem a tad tame, and a go for the jugular instinct for mixing local rhythms and melodies with jazz-tinged horn solos and Congo-inflected guitar work. Yet what we know of these superb groups amounts to a scattering of passing references in interviews and articles written about something or somebody else. Still and all, we do have the recordings: and that's all we need to know that the 1960's was a truly wonderful decade for dance music in Lagos, a period in which musicians from all over southern Nigeria mixed languages and traditions on the bandstands and in the recording studios, creating a seemingly endless series of sounds that blended Yoruba, Ibo and other ingredients in ways that spoke to everybody. The examples in this CD are plentiful enough. Aside from the blues or "native blues" which was a name for a 6/5 rhythm, the examples range from the opening cut to Aigbe Lebarty's numbers in the Bini language spoken round Benin city in the Mid West (which was, like eastern Nigeria, to remain a highlife haven, notable for the guitar band of Sir Victor Uwaifo). Nigerian dance-band highlife took off in the 1950's, when tours by E. T. Mensah's Tempos band reinforced foundations laid by the Lagos based group of pioneers founded by Bobby Benson in the late 40's It enjoyed less than a decade of glorious maturity, which ended with all too literal a bang in 1967, when the Nigerian civil war broke out. Most of the top bands in Lagos were Ibo led, and there was hardly a group that didn't have Ibo musicians in it. When Ibo leaders declared the independence of their region under the name of Biafra, Ibo musicians left Lagos. The sound they made so prominent became politically incorrect - and by the time the war was over and the Ibo's rejoined the mainstream, the Yoruba public (and Lagos is, after all, a largely Yoruba city) had taken juju to its heart. That wasn't the whole story of course, highlife was perceived as a music of the elites (however meaningless that concept was in practice), and the coming of rock and roll had a similar effect in Africa as in the west. In addition, rootsiness was the coming thing. In reality, much for which the guitar bands (and particularly the juju musicians) have since been given sole credit - the use of local rhythms and melodies, the percussion jams - had in fact been standard practice for the Lagos dance-bands. But perception was all: jazz was out, horns were out, guitars and voices were in. In Yoruba territory, the combination completed the triumph of juju. In the east and midwest Nigerian highlife lived on, but the guitar bands were now in the ascendancy. The loss was considerable. The new generation may have dismissed the dance bands as old hat, parental-generation and the rest, but only the incurably guitar fixated could miss the joyous energy and faintly anarchic creativity of the bands on this recording. The names alone - The Archibogs, The Azaleas, The Lo Right Time Orchestra - are irresistible. And they delivered. There was hardly a band that didn't play music of amazing variety with strong local elements and jump started by soloists that could raise the dead. The variety of dance-band highlife, in fact, was as terrific as its quality. As you'll hear from this collection, the Decca label alone was recording a score of superb bands with as many versions of the basic sound. Forgotten or only dimly remembered, they were all dynamite.

| GINGER BAKER (with Fela Kuti) | STRATAVARIOUS | ATCOSD7013 | LP | 0.00 | COL |
| Interesting and sought after album by Ginger Baker and Fela Kuti. The tracks are long, with a tight funky sound, and lots of cool keyboards by Fela (who also sings and plays percussion). One track features a cool percussion jam between Ginger Baker and Guy Warren, the enigmatic African percussionist who also recorded with his Soundz group in the UK. The track Tiwa is propelled by Fela's keyboards and is the highlight of the album. The album came about when Fela was in London making Fela's London Scene. He met up with drummer Ginger Baker and they made this album together in 1972. Fela Kuti teamed up with again with Ginger Baker to make Fela's Live with Ginger Baker album and Fela also got Ginger to produce his classic He Miss Road album for him. | 1. ARIWO

| The soft voiced king of juju whispers his words to the sweetly played music of his band The African Beats. A whole mix of percussion is present but pride of place goes to the various talking drums who's conversations throb backwards and forwards across the stage. Sunny's four man backing chorus is just perfect as they accompany him without ever overshadowing him. There are a whole bunch of beautifully played guitars laying down their notes but its the gorgeous sound made by the pedal steel guitar which is so evocative of juju music that catches the ear the most. Even Jonah Williams's keyboards are played with panache when they manage to sneak in. Not to be missed without a doubt. ( Tracks not in any order as they are all great: E Dide E Mujo, Ara Ma Nfe Sinmi, Oshodi Oke, Orisun Iye, Ose Ose, Yoruba, Ope Oku, Dance Dance Dance, Iya Mi, Alashe L'aiye, Omonde O'mela, Enia L'asho Mi, Ode Le Alaga. ) [13T/53] NB.

| LIJADU SISTERS | HORIZON UNLIMITED (RE) | DWAPS2089 | LP | 10.00 | COL |
| Superb album from the tree climbing twins. Whenever Kehinde and Taiwo Lijadu felt low down in spirit they indulged themselves in a childhood prank. They climbed the tallest nearest tree and watched the unlimited horizon. That's not the only trait they shared in common. They are identical twins who also share identical callings, habits, hobbies, a bank account and four children between them. They never tell which one of them is mother to which child. 'They are four children' They always said when asked. Some years ago they climbed a very tall tree and saw in the horizon unlimited, the path of their future. The elements were orchestrating sweet musical vibrations that hit the core of the very being of the twins. It was the climax of their long-standing yearning to become professional singers. After all, it was all in the family. Daddy played the piano and Granny played the guitar. They had enough inspirational heat in their veins to generate and power their interest and enthusiasm. Also influencing them were Aretha Franklin, I. K. Dairo, Miriam Makeba, Victor Olaiya, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and a host of other musicians both local and international. All of them together gave them the heat of their inspiration. [6T/26M] | 1. ORERE - ELEJIGBO

| TONY ALLEN AND AFROBEAT 2000 | NEPA | MWKS3001 | LP | £ 10.00 | |
| One of my favorite albums from Fela Kuti's renowned drummer. N.E.P.A. is the initials of the Nigerian Electric Power Authority or as it is known locally Never Expect Power Always. However there is plenty of Power here from the thudding Afrobeat drumming of Tony and the great brass section supplied by Bami, Eddie Tan Tan, Tunji Omoshebi and Nicky Norris. Apart from NEPA there is only one other track - WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSE (another one go open) but to make up for having only these two tracks, which by the way are both crackers, there is a stunning Dance Dub version of both of them. Some really lovely buttock grinding groove. [4T/29M] | Track :N.E.P.A. |
