Wicked new compilation of African music from the late 50's to the late 80's on Vampisoul!
"Afrobeat Nirvana" showcases African Jazz, Highlife, Psych, Funk, Soul, R&B and - of course - Arobeat. Some of the names here are familiar to our occidental ears, such as the great Tony Allen, Orlando Julius, and of course Fela Kuti (here in his early years). But there are plenty of others, more obscure and mindblowing artists, in here such as Godwin Omobuwa, Dr.Victor Olaiya, Bola Johnson, Fred Fisher and Opotopo.
