Faaji Agba
Curated by Lagos' legendary Jazzhole Records, 'Faaji Agba' is a rare compilation of unreleased Nigerian music, spanning Afro-funk, afrobeat, palm wine, juju, and highlife. This album bridges generations, featuring both elder and emerging musicians who bring to life the rich musical traditions of Nigeria, from the late 1940s to today's contemporary grooves. Key contributors include juju pioneer Sina Ayinde Bakare, multi-instrumentalist Fatai Rolling Dollar, Afro-funk saxophonist Prince Eju Oyewole, and Afrobeat pianist Duro Ikujenyo of Fela Kuti's Egypt 80. Their masterful performances create an immersive sonic experience_where infectious rhythms meet soulful melodies. A testament to Jazzhole's 30-year legacy in preserving and promoting black music, this album is a must-listen for lovers of African sounds and cultural storytelling, and while you're at it check out the documentary that came out in 2015! Cool stuff!
