VF 002EP
|
2015 repress. At the close of the 1970s, just a couple of years after the classic psych-funk of Float (QDK 052CD), Wilf Ekanem and crew trained their frazzled peepers on disco. The ensuing Aiye People LP is a stunner and a collector's legend. Here are two standouts from the album, magnificently revived with crisp sound, a top-notch pressing in a Voodoo Funk house-bag, with a two-by-one-foot poster. Afro-fried Kool and The Gang on a mission to "blow your soul on fire," featuring space-jazzbo Fred Fisher on trombone, the E Gang sisters on sassy backing vocals, Elvy's funky lead guitar, solo flute by Willie Chucks Edozie, and ill cosmo-synths and moog.

QDK 052CD
|
Tirogo is another great sample of lost African psychedelic music. It was recorded in Nigeria in 1977 and originally released on EMI, same as the great album BLO-Chapter One. This Nigerian psych-rock band Tirogo is similar to bands such as Ofege, Blo, Founders 15, Doves, and Aktion. Great African songs covered with wild guitar solos, spooky organ, great beats and strong vocals. There are four guys pictured on the cover, but six young men were actually in the band. It is getting harder and harder to find lost African bands these days, since there has been a big resurgence in the international music scene to hunt for good material. With the massive help of collectors and Now Again Records in the USA who actually went to Nigeria to sign the boys, QDK Media are able to present this amazing album to you. It will suit the same music lovers who enjoy Amanaz, Witch!, Question Mark and Blo. Band members include: Wilfred Ekanem (bass, percussion, lead vocals); Elvy Akhionbare (lead guitar, percussion); Wilfred Iwang (drums, vocals, percussion); Fumi Onabolu (keyboards, percussion); Godwin Debogie (conga, percussion, vocals).
