Orlando Julius and His Afro Sounders – Afro Sounders
Album
Saxophonist Orlando Julius was instrumental in bridging Nigerian highlife and American rhythm and blues. On this electrifying 1973 session recorded at EMI Studios in Lagos, his Afro Sounders deliver blistering brass riffs, distorted psych-rock guitar leads, and dense Yoruba percussion. The grooves on Alo Mi Alo and Psychedelic Afro Soul crackle with sweat and kinetic showmanship.
