Released in 2016 by PMG, Unity showcases the boundary-pushing vision of Highlife veteran Aigbe Lebarty. Fusing the energetic grooves of soul and funk with vibrant elements of folk and world music, this album captures Lebarty at a creative crossroads, blending skittish percussion, compelling rhythms, and inventive melodies.
This edition preserves the unique spirit of Lebarty’s late 1970s experiments, where tracks like "His Highness Erediauwa 1 Oba Of Benin" pay homage to both tradition and innovation. Unity stands out for its dynamic range and distinctive sound, making it a noteworthy entry for fans of international funk and collectors seeking a deep dive into Nigerian musical heritage.
