Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Disc 3 in this set features interviews with Ginger Baker, Fela & Femi Kuti, Roy Ayers and others.
Liner Note Author: Max Reinhardt.
Nigeria in the 1970's was a hotbed for a myriad of musical movements and hybrids. Asserting its fiercely independent spirit in the wake of colonial rule, the music centered on the country's largest metropolis, Lagos, grew to be as diverse as that of any major city in Europe or the U.S.A. Continuing the Strut label's series of Nigeria-focused compilations, NIGERIA 70 LAGOS JUMP: ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT AFROBEAT HIGHLIFE & AFRO PUNK unearths lesser-known musicians, many of whom continue to toil in the shadow of the larger-than-life figurehead of Afro-beat, Fela Kuti. While homegrown styles are represented (as in the upbeat juju of Sir Shina Peters), many of the most memorable cuts represent distinctly western-influenced fusions. Funk and soul-jazz influences play heavily in the slick grooves of Peter King's "African Dialects," while Chief Checker's "Africa Irie" puts a West African spin on roots reggae.

Producer: Duncan Brooker (Compilation); Quinton Scott (Compilation)

Spin (6/02, p.107)
- "...A secret funk history from the land that spawned too damn many Fel Kuti reissues..."

The Wire (p.57)
- "[W]ith stunning examples of Highlife, Afrobeat, and in-betweens like the reggae inflected Chief Checker and soul tinged Ify Jerry Crusade."

Record Collector (magazine)
(p.103)
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t delves back to this time of joyous musical discovery, experimentation and celebration to create a sublimely fascinating set which opens up a vast new world to explore."
