More disco and boogie sounds from early 80s West and South Africa
The third installment in the SIS series of African Boogie. The music spans from 1980 to 1986 and represents an unusual moment in African music history—an influence of electronic and pop music coming out of Europe and the US. The US boogie sound, disco-infused early hip hop, was particularly popular in Lagos, Nigeria and influenced a wave of African artist to embrace an unusually western sound. The transition from analog to digital changed music globally, but African music in the early 80s seems more drastic than most. Where early 80s pop in the US often felt stiff and mechanical, the African counterpart incorporates the soulful spirit of their culture. Enjoy!
