Something a bit different for TRS, I must say, and very welcome. I have a weakness for African guitarists from the eighties onwards, because they really discovered a different way to make sounds with electric guitars that owes no baggage to the blues or any other western style. African guitarists simply s-p-a-r-k-l-e when they start hitting those riffs. Investigate any of the soukous coming out of Zaire or Senegal, for example, if you will. Oh, and I do have a soft spot for Osibisa even if they’re not really an African band. I saw them live at Bath University in 1973 when THEY blew Curved Air offstage.

Strange coincidence you should post a band from Lagos today, as I just went to see the new Fela! Broadway musical last night. It was amazing to imagine you were really watching Fela at the Shrine, but it failed to really take me away… a little too much “Broadway” got into the mix.
