Jẹjẹ project in 1983, featuring Nigerian producer Ray Mike Nwachukwu known for popular productions like John Player's Disco Boogie and Theadora Ifudu, alongside numerous talented local musicians including Babá Ken Okulolo, Friday Jumbo, Laolu Akins, and Gboyega Adelaja. A rare blend of tropical, lo-fi, afrobeat sounds seamlessly fused across 7 tracks. First up, the irresistible “A Poor Man Has No Brother” delivers a meltingly sweet vibe and lo-fi touch. Also not to be missed are afro tune “Time Na Money / To Be A Good Leader” featuring male and female vocals over cheap keyboard sound, and gentle afro balearic “Dignity Of Labour” sung by female vocals. Brilliant overall. There's a bit of a crackling sound at the beginning, but otherwise it's in excellent, valuable condition.
John Player's Disco BoogieやTheadora Ifuduの人気プロダクションを手掛けてきたナイジェリア人プロデューサーRay Mike NwachukwuにBabá Ken Okulolo, Friday Jumbo, Laolu Akins, Gboyega Adelajaなど多数の実力派ローカルミュージシャンが参加したプロジェクトJẹjẹの83年作。暖かいバイブスにトロピカル、Lo-fi、アフロビート等が絶妙に交じり合う全7曲。まずとろけるようなスウィートな雰囲気とLo-fi加減が最高の”A Poor Man Has No Brother”がもうたまりません。他にも男女のヴォーカルとチープなキーボードによるアフロ・チューン”Time Na Money / To Be A Good Leader”、女性ヴォーカル歌うゆるやかなアフロ・バレアリック”Dignity Of Labour”もお見逃しなく。なかなかこの手のサウンドはないですね。冒頭少しチリチリしますがそれ以外は良好の貴重なコンデション。
