Compiled by collector and DJ Duncan Brooker, this new selection of tracks returns to a fertile heyday in Nigerian music when established styles like highlife and juju became infused with elements of Western jazz, soul and funk and musicians brought a proud new message post-independence. ESSENTIAL!!!!
