Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the mesmerizing, interwoven vocal harmonies of the Nigerian twins, 'Horizon Unlimited' is a vibrant, rhythmic masterpiece of West African funk. The album seamlessly blends politically conscious lyricism with blistering Afrobeat grooves and psychedelic guitar flourishes. It represents a staggering high-water mark for independent 1970s African popular music, fiercely celebrating feminist identity and regional pride.
