Nice one dude, just two things I want to point out. The percussionist is none other than the great Papa Chico, last seen playing the Conga's at Nazir Ado Ibrahim's nightclub Club Towers in the late 90's; b. I'm absolutely sure that the Strangers were not led by Tony Benson but by Bob Miga an awesome Hammond Organist, they were based in Enugu hence. I'm sure you remember the track- Love Rock ('Some talk about love.' )that was the Strangers and Miga at his best on the Hammond Organ. All said, fantastic post, more abeg!

Thanks a lot for the info Seal67! Re: the Strangers thing.

I was just having that conversation with someone not too long ago! Ms Office 2007 Crack Version Download. I KNEW that Bob Miga is the figure most associated with the Strangers, but John Collins states (in both Musicmakers of West Africa and West African Pop Roots) that Tony Benson was the leader of the group! Eventually, i just figured that maybe Benson started the band and Miga later took over or something. But more likely since Collins was based in Ghana rather than Nigeria, and he had an enormous amount of information to compile, he might have just gotten his circuits crossed. (it's happened before) well, i'll edit the post so as to avoid perpetuating that misinformation. Again, thanks a lot.

That's The Time Links: Press Release: There's no doubt that the brightest star which burned in the Nigerian firmament in the early 70s was Fela Anikupalo Kuti. But for a while Segun Bucknor's Revolution, with its politics, African roots consciousness, dancers and African funk fusion, gave even Fela something to think about. To date, this is the largest compilation of his music from the early 70s to have been released. Segun was born in 1946 into a well regarded Lagos musical family who were church singers and organists. He started to play box guitar and the piano at nine years old. Two years later, he got to lead his first band, The Hot Spots, and then in 1961 he got the chance to play and record with highlife bandleader Roy Chicago's Rhythm Dandies dance band. But by 1964, highlife was becoming old hat for postindependence Nigerian youth.

With three school friends, Segun formed The Hot Four, who played mostly covers of popular pop and rock songs, but in 1965 he left for New York's Columbia University to study liberal arts and ethnomusicology. During his three years in the US, he was totally overpowered by a sonic blast that hadn't reached Nigeria when he left for the US: sweet soul music. In 1968 he'd completed his studies and returned to Lagos on a mission to bring soul power to Nigeria. Woods Indoor Digital Timer Td2200 Troubleshooting. Trouble was, he soon found that young Lagos had already succumbed in his absence.
