Album
Freedom Highlife. Tune in. Music For Dreams. As a collection, Nigeria Freedom Sounds merely whets the appetite rather than sating it fully. That the collection focuses on a smaller number of artists allows the listener to get a general sense of what the artist is about while giving them ample reason to dive deeper in their back catalogues. The music is generally upbeat and hopeful, matching the optimism of newly free Nigeria. Theres a foreshadowing of the doom to come on the standout track Lumumba Calypso which recounts the death of Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of Congo, also an important figure in the struggle for Congo. Nigeria Freedom Sounds Popular Music And The Birth Of Independent Nigeria 1960-63 CD, Comp. Soul Jazz Records. SJR CD341. Soul Jazz Records new Nigeria Freedom Sounds features a stunning selection of material spotlighting the vibrant musical scene in Nigeria at the start of the 1960s. With a wealth of musical and cultural history and newly independent from Britain, Nigerian music during this era was complex, diverse and forward-thinking, with musicians as excited in exploring their countrys own musical lineage with styles such as Juju and Apala as they were in adapting and absorbing outside influences such as Ghanaian Highlife, Caribbean Calypsos and Mambo and more. This album features many of the defining art. The cynical use of the words freedom and independence made me furious during the Brexit campaign, but heres an intriguing, mostly optimistic, album from a true independence era. The 1st of October 1960 marked the birth of free Nigeria, an event celebrated by EC Arinze in Freedom Highlife, with its chorus Hip, hip, hoorah. It appears here in a 23-track compilation that includes lilting highlife dance tracks and other Nigerian styles from the period before Fela Kuti mixed highlife with funk to create Afrobeat. Theres jùjú music from IK Dairo, who became a big star with his accordion work. Disc IDs 1. Cover Art 2. Additional details. Type: Album Compilation. Packaging: Other. Data Quality: Normal.
