'Dancing Time: The Best of Eastern Nigeria's Afro Rock
Exponents 1973-'77' by The Funkees is the latest title on
Soundway to mine the rich musical output of '60s and '70s
Nigeria. For the 5 year period this compilation spans The
Funkees' output crackled with dance floor fire. Having featured
on three of Soundways most popular titles, across the
definitive Nigeria Special compilation series, we felt The
Funkees output deserved closer inspection. Presented here (on
CD, download and double gatefold LP) are 18 slices of funky
Afro-rock grooves hand picked by Soundways' Miles Cleret from a selection of the bands 45rpm's and two long players. In the
early 1970s The Funkees were the number-one east Nigerian band
and the only outfit to seriously challenge the popular Lagos
based rock combos MonoMono and BLO. It wasn't long before
promoters in the UK came calling and The Funkees packed up
their instruments and moved to London where they quickly
established a fierce reputation on the live circuit. Here they
recorded two seminal albums before finally breaking up in 1977
amidst some controversy. This collection features for the first time all of their Nigerian 45rpm's alongside the best of their UK album material and is accompanied by a full interview with
original member Sonny Akpan, who still lives in London.
Also available: DANCING TIME (LP).
