On Nigeria Special

Posted by Jason Cherkis on Mar. 19, 2008, at 12:47 am

A month or so ago, Soundway released an afro-pop/funk/soul comp called Nigeria Special. It is not the first such compilation from Soundway. They’re responsible for a lot of amazing Africa-based stuff. I mean records like this.

With the Nigeria Special comp., Soundway may not have topped themselves. But they come damn close. The album even has an amazing fansite that includes sound and video clips. You can listen to one tune. You can watch this awesome clip here:

   Are any of these bands still active and recording new stuff or playing on a Nigerian oldies circuit or something? I’ve read that many Kenyan musicians are playing in gospel bands, wondering what these Nigerian musicians are up to now.
