Shango by Peter King


Shango by Peter King

My exposure to Nigerian music was so far limited to Fela Kuti and sons. Last summer a friend played Shango for me and I decided I should get hold of it and listen to it thoroughly. It's clearly got that Nigerian vibe, but it's very different from Fela's afrobeat. Jazzier, different, less in your face grooves. Very very cool although I feel I've only scratched the surface.
