First official reissue of the extremely rare full-length album by Lagos-based
bandleader Shina Williams. Clean copies of the original currently sell for up
to £500.
The record was born in 1979 when Shina put Biddy Wright, Fred Fisher, Saliu
Alabi, Prince Bola, Tutu Shoronmu, Tunde willimas and several other decorated
Nigerian musicians – who played with the likes of Fela Kuti, SJOB Movement,
Sonny Okoson, King Bucknor amongst others – together to record. The result is
‘African Dances’, a timeless fusion of afrobeat, electronics, boogie and disco.
Includes his most well-known song, ‘Agboju Logun’ that Williams knew was ground
breaking – “I want to show the whole wide world that Africa is alive with
modern musicians to reckon with anywhere,”. This album version is a different
mix to the two-track 12” that came out under on Earthworks, Rough Trade in
1984.
Official Mr Bongo reissue. Replica original artwork. Licensed direct from Shina
Williams.
