A Nigerian Retrospective 1966-79 captures the golden era of Nigerian soul, funk, and folk through the extraordinary artistry of Tunji Oyelana. Tracing his prolific output from the late 1960s to the late 1970s, this compilation showcases Oyelana’s rich blend of infectious grooves, tight funk shuffles, and traditional rhythms, making it a must-hear for fans of world music and boundary-pushing sounds.
This retrospective is a brilliant celebration of Oyelana’s unique musical vision, featuring standout tracks such as “Jewele Jewele,” “Ipasan,” and the signature 1971 hit “Agba Lo De” in both LP and original 45 versions. Released by Soundway in 2012 and packaged in a gatefold sleeve, this collection offers a journey into the heart of Nigerian rhythm and creativity, capturing the vibrant spirit that has made these recordings acclaimed by music lovers around the globe.
