“A hidden gem from the golden era of Nigerian boogie and synth-funk.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a brilliant compilation showcasing the work of Ayo Manuel, one of Nigeria’s underrated DIY pioneers from the 1980s.
What stands out most is the combination of crisp synth lines, punchy drum machine rhythms, and warm guitar elements that give these tracks such a distinctive West African boogie sound. The instrumental “Song Of Love” is an absolute gem — hypnotic, melodic, and one I keep coming back to.
It’s a perfect example of that raw, creative energy from the Lagos scene of the era. The remastered sound is clear and punchy while keeping the original soul intact. If you’re into 80s Nigerian funk, boogie or West African synth grooves, this record is a real treat. Clean copy and plays strong.
