Part 3 of Soundway's deep dig into Nigeria's seventies sounds is unleashed on May 12 - hot on the heels of the Disco Funk Special and the Nigeria Special 2CD/4LP extravaganza. Its a flipside to the HighLife and Afrobeat documented elsewhere. At its core a group of young bands fusing fuzz guitar, psychedelia and groove-based rock. Hendrix was definitely in the air and Cream's Ginger Baker fell in love with Nigeria, making a number of trips to jam with various bands.
Some time back I put together the final compilation in the African Serenades series entitled Afropsychedlicdaze which mined the same area. Much of that compilation was inspired by Uchenna over at the comb&razor site who also gets a big shout out on the liner notes here. In addition to picking up a copy of this new Soundway compilation check out two "Flashback" compilations featured by Uchenna some time back.
