The Visitors :: My Good Friends

Issued in 1977, My Good Friends captures a moment when eastern Nigeria's musicians folded highlife, funk, soul, and psychedelia into something restless and idiosyncratic. The results are gloriously untidy. While the contemporary story of Nigerian popular music is often told through towering figures like Fela Kuti, William Onyeabor, and King Sunny Adé, records like this reveal a parallel current—one built on synthesis rather than singularity.
