    Due to the sensitive nature of the content, there's no tracklist this time and only limited downloads...

    I put this together in a hurry last night to convince the owners of a Williamsburg venue to let me do a monthly Lagos Disco party at their place. It worked and to celebrate, I decide to put this up.

    Hey there is some killer stuff on here, thanks.

    Are there record pics to go along per usual? I don't see this on the blog, unless I am looking in the wrong places.

    Frank, thank you! This is so awsome!!!
    On which format were those records released? Are there also african 12"
    disco singles?
    I'm wondering what artist might have inspired these african musicians...
    Obviously some of them are influenced by Nile Rogers/Chic.
    But the music is so great, that I have a hard time believing it is unfluenced
    by cheesy commercial disco records from the US or Europe.
    On the other hand I can't imagine that underground disco record were imported
    to Africa...
    Have you found imports of american/european records during your digging trips?

    Hey! Glad you're digging this...
    There are a few 12" singles but strangely enough they all run on 33rpm.

    Can't give you any information on Euro or US influence because I don't really know any of that stuff. Ididn't like Disco before moving to Africa. At first I put everything I found into the sales boxes but somehow these records really grew on me.

    I didn't see many foreign releases but some. I'm sure that the clubs in Lagos kept up with US and European imports. I guess the big appeal of Nigerian Disco comes from mixing in a variety of other influences like Funk, Highlife and Juju. I also think that the studios in Lagos must have continued working with used late 60s / early 70s gear handed down from Europe, resulting in a more organic and different sound. There's so much stuff out there though and I'm only going for one small section of the spectrum.
