Pieter Bos Could have been a great single disc compilation. The first 6 tracks of the second disc are ripped from a very bad vinyl copy. Favorite track: EBI-LOLO.

about

This fabulous compilation, AFRICAN CARNIVAL, takes the best songs from Freed Fisher's albums: "Say The Truth" (1979), "No Way" (1981), "Wahala Dey For Town" (1988) and Ogiza (1990), and comes with liner notes by nigerian specialist Samuel Kayode.

With his own band Fred also performed live all over the country. They opened for Fela Kuti, who noticed the talent of Bob Ohiri who later joined Fela’s band, leaving Fred and his band stranded. They had to cancel a 6 month contract in Owere. Lt Apasa stopped paying the rent, took his equipment back and that was the end of the band. Bob Ohori went on to record and performed with Fela. He later left Fela to join King Sunny Ade where he introduced the Afrobeat rhythm to Juju music.

by Analog Africa

Another golden compilation from AA! Great introduction to Afro-Colombian psychedelia via the Discos Machuca back catalogue. These songs are full of infectious percussion, trance-inducing rhythms, sun-soaked melodies, and hauntingly beautiful vocals. Hard to pick a favourite song, but I've played side D the most. j j headington
