Nigeria Rock Special: Psychedelic Afro-Rock & Fuzz Funk in 1970s Nigeria cover art

Focuses intensely on the heavily fuzzed-out, Jimi Hendrix and Santana-inspired guitar rock explosion that swept across Nigeria in the early 1970s. Brilliantly compiled by Soundway Records, the anthology unearths incredibly raw, obscure tracks that showcase the aggressive hybridization of Western hard rock with deep African rhythms. It acts as an explosive, essential companion to the era's more widely known afrobeat and highlife movements.
