The powerful machine of the rhythm, Mama Africa, comes out directly from Nigeria and to the 70s decade together with the artists from that period, that could express their best combining a perfect union between locals genders such us juju, palmwine, fuji and frantic funk pulsions, just discovered from African musicians. Are you curios? Here you have Nigeria 70: The Definitive Story (Strut/Audioglobe), a 3 cd box where also 5 documentaries take place. Enchanted by masters like Fela Kuti and Sunny Ade (here proposed in of one of his classics’ dub-version) and by the powerful Tony Allen drums. But bigger surprise comes from the Ofo The black Company burning rock funk (here we can hear Lenny Kravitz’s roots) or from Woman Made the devil sophisticated blues from Bongos Ikwue, 4 minutes of re-union with the Missisipi delta. A compilation that satisfy body and soul, more if you think about spring time where all our senses awake. Strut-records!

John Colver is another time with Christopher Shannon: shot by Ben Weller, they wanted to showcase the designer’s first ever collection showing at London Fashion Week.
