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 Africas 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. The repetitive nature, the skeletal composition and the relentless exploitation of synthesizers, electric guitars and 80s effect racks resulted in a spiced up brew with an odd psychedelic note. CD comes with a full color 36-pages booklet & digital album as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
