In 2001, the first edition of NIGERIA 70 on Strut broke the mould for African compilations: a powerful 3CD set presenting a wide spectrum of musical styles from the seventies and a sound documentary charting the history of this music. In 2007, Strut delved even deeper into the Lagos underground with NIGERIA 70: LAGOS JUMP, another essential box of West African musical dynamite with the focus firmly on the dancefloor. From the hard-hitting jazz of Peter King to the raw afro-funk of Bola Johnson and the ever-shifting grooves of juju legend Sir Shina Peters, the album captures a rich and unique era of West African music.
