Given what most Westerners know about Nigeria's history, the title of this collection may seem odd, but in fact, it represents the beginning of a brief decade when things were finally shifting in the nation's favor. The music ranges from the sprightly, rocking highlife of "Life" by Moneyman & the Super 5 International to the proto-Igbo highlife funk of Ali Chunkwumah & His Peace Makers International's "Henrietta" and the futuristic juju of "It's Time for Juju Music" by Admiral Dele Abiodun & His Top Hitters International. The sheer variety of styles, dialects, and musical ambition in just these three tracks is startling.

Only 2 left in stock (more on the way). 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

Igbo highlife is a contemporary musical genre which combines highlife and Igbo traditional music. It first started off in the southeast region of Nigeria, during the 1950s. The genre is primarily guitar-based music, with rare characteristic blend of horns and vocal rhythms. Igbo highlife lyrics are sung mostly in Igbo with occasional infusion of Pidgin English. One of the most influential composers and performers of the music is Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe whose career spanned over 40 years.

Nigeria Special 2 is the second part to the best selling Nigeria Special album released to critical acclaim in 2007 and further extends the look at the most exciting period in Nigeria’s recording history.
