Chief Fasco Dagama & His Super Performers (Nigeria/1979)

Chief Fasco Dagama may be from Nigeria or Benin his juju music album edited on Beninese Albarika Store label remains excellent. Gangan or talking-drum lovers will be delighted.
I think comment from Reservatory resumes perfectly this album:

"This one's still on rotation. I hear bits of Alhadji Haruna Ishola and gamelan in the rhythm, but the guitars really take it somewhere else. Polytonality, microtonality or faulty tuning, I can't get enough whatever it is. And does his name reference Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama? Thanks again for this treasure."

Chief Fasco Dagama peut être Nigerian ou Béninois, son album de Juju music édité sur le label Béninois Albarika Store reste excellent. Les amateurs de tambour Gangan ou "talking drum" seront enchantés.

Irede-Band Juju (Benin/1976)

I am sorry to offer you a Juju vinyl in a bad shape but this record is a way for me to introduce the Yoruba community from Benin. Many Yoruba artists are coming  from the south of the country. Yoruba people are also called Nago. Juju, Apala or Fuji rhythms are making parts of Beninese musical culture. This recording from Irede-Band juju is led by Akambi Elewu-Etu. It must have been recorded in 1976.

Désolé pour l'état de ce vinyle qui me permet d'introduire la communauté Yorouba du sud Bénin. Ils sont aussi appelés Nago. Les rythmes Juju, Apala ou Fuji font parti intégrante de la culture musicale béninoise. Cet enregistrement du groupe Irede Band of Juju est dirigé par Akambi Elewu Etu. Il devrait dater de 1976.
