Dizzy K: Sweet Music

The last few years have given collectors of African popular music an embarrassment of riches with countless compilations and excellent excavations of key periods, places and styles. However, the Nigerian Disco scene of the early 1980’s still hasn’t received anything approximating a significant retrospective. Any attempt to document the era would have to include the music of Dizzy K. Falola, who together with his long term producer Tony Okoroji produced six albums of inspired Nigerian Disco - a unique mix of organic African percussion and lush electronic pop stylings.



This self-titled track from 1984's Sweet Music would be on my compilation any day.
