Edo Funk Explosion Vol.1
Various Artists - Edo Funk Explosion Vol.1 (2LP + Booklet)
It was in Benin City, in the heart of Nigeria, that a new hybrid of intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk was born. It first emerged in the late 1970s when a group of musicians began to experiment with different ways of integrating elements from their native Edo culture and fusing them with new sound effects coming from West Africa's night-clubs. Unlike the rather polished 1980s Nigerian disco productions coming out of the international metropolis of Lagos Edo Funk was raw and reduced to its bare minimum.
