Semi Colon Ndia Egbuo Ndia lp + 7 inch

lp + 7 inch
2012/1975-76
new
Nigerian afrobeat that aimed to out-funk Fela himself, & sports generous helpings of stinky, sticky bass grooves, syncopated organ lines & wild jabs of fuzz guitar. They've appeared on a couple of different Soundway compilations ('Nigeria Special' & 'The World Ends'). The band has so much control that in 'Ebenebe' they slow down & speed up the running polyrhythms by tiny, infintesimal degrees every time they switch between the verse & chorus. Tracklisting: Afro Jigida, Ndia Egbuo Ndia, Ebenebe, Isi Agboncha, Afro Jigida, True Fine Mama/True Fine Woman, Giam Blow, Yanga, Our Fada.
