Nigeria Special is a truly in-depth, double-album look at Nigerian music in the early to mid-'70s, encompassing a broad range of styles. Compiler and DJ MILES CLERET has spent five years working on this album--involving trips to Lagos and around Nigeria interviewing musicians and researching recordings, as well as a suitable amount of time scouring dusty record stores and warehouses for elusive sounds. This compilation presents some of the best un-reissued and forgotten sounds from Nigeria, covering the amazingly vibrant and diverse styles that emerged and flourished at the time. Everything from highlife, jazz, Afro-beat and blues to more traditional styles are represented to give as comprehensive a survey of the scene as possible.
