Musical Youtube updates of vintage African, West Indian, Oriental and others World Grooves from the 50s to the 90s every Wednesday & Sunday, feel free to subscribe to this channel to not miss any ! For today, I wanted to share with you "Kpalanuma", a mind-blowing 70s Highlife Soul track from Nigeria with Afrobeat influences & instant catchy horn & synth parts, taken from one of the several albums composed by the very prolific Nigerian composer & musician St. Augustine Anwunzia backed by his "Rovers International", recorded in 1978 on the Nigerian branch of the mythical label "Polydor". St Augustine's albums are known to be upper-class Highlife, but that one remains my favorite, blending many genres as it contains outstanding Afrobeat, Highlife but also Reggae tracks. More, it features some of the greatest Nigerian & Cameroonian composers of that era, as : - St. Augustine Anwunzia : Lead Vocals, Composition, Arrangements ; - Tony Bonny Wailer, Johnny Woode : Drums ; - Frankie Ntoh Song : Guitar Synthesizer ; - Fred Fisher Atalobhor  : Trombone ; - Willie Nfor : Bass Guitar ; - Joe Chiejina : Maracas ; - Andrew Kisito : Vocals ; - Abi John : Lead Guitar ; - Jossy Egele : Congas ; - Sharp Mike : Trumpet ; Killer album from start to finish, hope you'll like it - enjoy !
