After years of gigging around the east Nigerian music scene, Foundars 15 finally hit the jackpot when they recruited legendary bass player Marshall Udo. Charismatic and confident, Udo immediately energised the band, bringing a new funky and psychedelic vibe as well as a bunch of songs hed workshopped with the Funkees. While he was undoubtedly the catalyst, 'Co-operation' is very much a group effort. Udo, Sony Enang, Nek Adirika and Ike Peters each provide songs and the musicianship of each player is impeccable. Every track is super-tight and sophisticated. This is the sound of a band that means business. It's also why 1977's 'Co-operation' is widely regarded as one of the great Afro-funk rock albums of all time.
Also available: CO-OPERATION (CD).
