Bongos Ikwue - Woman Made The Devil

The two discs that comprise this compilation of Nigerian pop have been on a nearly endless rotation since I picked them up this weekend -- sadly, not from the collection of Downtown Freddie Brown. This song is a bit of a departure from the rest of the set, but I've listened to it about 15 times in the past four days.



(If the album cover alone isn't enough to sell you on it, I'm not sure you can be helped.)

Ups ups ups

Nice. The second Nigerian song in OWY history, and it couldn't be much different from the first. We're going to cover African country, eventually. Next? Malawi.

Fela is (of course) well represented in this comp. I'll upload or find a link later tonight.

(I meant to say much more different from the first, of course. That's bugging me)

That would be awesome.

Did you also mean to say every African country, as well? Because I happen to have an African country and western record, but it's recorded from vinyl and not divided into tracks. Yet.

That comment really was an atrocity, in all respects.

At least I spelled Malawi correctly.
