From the label
The latest release from Soundway Records presents the music of a Nigerian legend - Sir Victor Uwaifo, who combined the rhythms and traditions of the historic culture of the Empire of Benin with the sounds of Highlife, Soul and Reggae to produce his own unique and culturally vital musical hybrid. This album focuses on the music he produced in the 1970s - a time of greater Western influence but also of an increased interest in the heritage of his country and culture, reflected in his musical experiments and reappraisal of traditional styles. Packed with rare tracks, vintage cover art and informative interviews and commentary, this release restores him to his rightful place alongside the other giants of African music.
