The Great African Disco w/ Temi Kogbe & Uchenna Ikonne (Comb & Razor)

Lagos, 02.05.21

Uchenna Ikonne Of Comb and Razor joins Temi on this show as they deeper into the heaviest sounds of 70s Nigeria.

Emerging from a war, with the hopes and energy of independence from the 1960s dissipating, Nigeria’s youth felt a frustration with the country’s government and politics. Fuelled by the energy of the US black power movement, and its analogous music - James Brown, Jimi Hendrix - Nigerian acts like The Funkees, Fela Kuti, Sherry Parker & more rose to prominence.
