i got really weary of the new wave of african music reissues in about 2001 - barring struts Nigeria 70 the first batch were really shit - terrible "the shrine" comp by ocho - really poor "oulelele" and "racubah" comps.
so i guess i thought it was all over and done with. that things couldn't be improved. that we were in to scraping the barrel now. and there were lots of great things going on in contemporary music - like grime frinstance.
how wrong can one be!
actually everything got better. much much better.
first to the table was the soundway label. amazing stuff. check the afro baby comp. unbelievably good.
then also lots of more good stuff on strutt. nigeria.
honest jons - yes - two very very good comps. (fricking amazing) "lagos all routes" and "lagos chop-up"
analog africa. another really great label.
golden afrique. great series.
