The artists featured are Fatai Rolling Dollars (Fatai Olagunjo) who is an 80 year old Guitarist, Kokoro (Benjamin Aderaunmu) is an 82 year old blind minstrel singer and percussionist, Duro Ikujenyo is the veteran keyboardist for Fela Anikulapo Kuti's Egypt 80's band from the mid 70's to mid 80's, Biodun Ayinde Bakare is a master of Yoruba palm-wine guitar. Though many of the songs here reference the 60s Juju-Highlife tradition, they are in fact more recent recordings with much paired down instrumentation and a modern (groove enhanced) production in comparison to those recordings from the 60s. Other songs that hint of Afrobeat, Jazz and Big Band Highlife round up this amazing selection of modern Nigerian music.
