Description
The Western world was in the throes of peace, love and flower power as Nigeria descended into Civil War in 1967. The rock scene that developed during the following three years of bloodshed and destruction would come to heal the country, propagate the world-wide ideal of the Modern Nigerian, and propel Fela to stardom after conflict ended in 1970. Wake Up You! tells the story of this time, pays homage to these now-forgotten musicians and their struggle, and brings to light the funk and psychedelic fury they created as they wrested free of the ravages of the late 1960s and created thrilling, original Nigerian rock music throughout the 1970s.
Presented in two volumes, each in a 100 page book full of never-seen photos along with detailed liner notes by Nigerian musicologist and researcher Uchenna Ikonne (Who Is William Onyeabor?), with all tracks fully licensed from the bands themselves.A1 –Theodore Nemy & His Band Come Back A2 –Funkees* Slipping Into Darkness A3 –Hykkers* I Want A Break Thru A4 –The Hygrades In The Jungle (Vocal) B1 –Shadow Abraham With Monomono Friends* Babalawo B2 –Waves (19) Wake Up You B3 –War-Head Constriction Shower Of Stone B4 –Question Mark (5) Love B5 –Action 13* Set Me Free C1 –Jay U Experience* Baby Rock C2 –The Doves (2) Flying Bird C3 –Kukumbas Awa Lani Arawa C4 –The Believers (10) Life Will Move D1 –Tony Grey (2) & The Black 7 The Feelings D2 –Ceejebs Life In Cannan D3 –The Identicals Who Made The World
