Afro Baby - Evolution Of The Afro Sound In Nigeria 1970-1979

the best of 2005 part 1
Afro Baby
"Evolution Of The Afro Sound In Nigeria 1970-1979"
(Soundway)

Cette compilation de musique du Nigeria est l'équivalent de la "Nigeria 70" sortie chez Strut il y a quelque temps maintenant. On y trouve d'autres tracks, d'autres gens, moins connus. Pour certains qu'on retrouve sur la "World Psychedelic Classics 3" de chez Luaka Bop, en revanche, comme Tunji Oyelana & The Benders, les Sahara Allstars ou Orlando Julius, et bien: pas de souci! Ce sont des morceaux différents...
Le spectre musical est assez large, en forme de panorama de la musique afro 70's sous toutes ses formes, toujours très groove, et pas seulement funk comme avec les autres compilations du label, de la série "Ghana Soundz". Pour la faire courte, c'est une grosse grosse tuerie. Encore une compilation de musique africaine indispensable. C'est vraiment la fête depuis quelques années: merci à Strut, Soundway, Comet et les quelques rares autres qui nous font profiter abondamment de cette culture...

(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
