variousÀwon Ojísé Olorun: Popular Music in Yorubaland 1931-1952 (Savannahphone) $18.99 A revelatory collection of early modern Nigerian music, including the styles that became known as sakara, juju and apala, made in association with the British Library, of the Yoruba, tribe who were settled in what was to become part of Nigeria when the British colonized. Of Muslim descent, their most popular form of music was sakara, rhythmic ceremonial music that moved into the polular sphere as cheap European instruments and recordings entered the mainstream, helping to form the roots of juju and apala. Artists include Rafiu Bankole, Abibus Oluwa, Lasisi Onipele, Akanbi Wright, Julius Araba, Lasisi Layemi, Raimi Dogo, Yesufu Olatunji, Aiyeke and his Orchestra, Aminu Olaribigbe, Alhaji Muniru Singers, Theophilus Iwalokun, Irewolede Denge, and Isamoto Alade. Good liner notes and illustrations are included in the substantial booklet.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
