    Ein Mammutprojekt auf Now Again: eine geschichtliche Aufbereitung der Rockmusik Nigerias der Jahre 1972-1977 in 2 Teilen. Kommt jeweils als CD oder 2LP inklusive 100+-seitigem Buch. Der erste Teil erscheint am 22.04.2016, der 2. Teil dann später dieses Jahr. Dass der ein oder andere Track schon auf den Nigeria Specials von Soundway oder anderen Samplern zum Thema zu finden ist (wie z.B. der Ify Jerry Krusade Track), lässt sich wohl nicht vermeiden, es ist aber dennoch genügend unbekanntes Material vorhanden und die beiden Bücher dürften auch nicht zu verachten sein.

    Now Again wrote:
    The Western world was in the throes of peace, love, and flower power as Nigeria descended into Civil War in 1967. The rock scene that developed during the following three years of bloodshed and destruction would come to heal the country, propagate the world-wide ideal of the Modern Nigerian, and propel Fela Kuti to stardom after conflict ended in 1970.

    Wake Up You! tells the story of this time, pays homage to these now-forgotten musicians and their struggle, and brings to light the funk and psychedelic fury they created as they wrested free of the ravages of the late 1960s and created thrilling, original Nigerian rock music throughout the 1970s.

    Wake Up You! is presented in two 100+ page books full of never-seen photos and the story of the best Nigerian rock bands told in vivid detail by musicologist and researcher Uchenna Ikonne (Who Is William Onyeabor?).

    Each volume is presented as both a hardbound book with CD in a resealable plastic sleeve, and as a double LP with a soft-cover book included in a custom-made 12″x 12″ book holder.
