LIL ZÉ
LF 27
Next up, Lil Zé from Oakland, CA delivering Nigerian summer grooves for this Late Feelings mix aka the Fufu Flour Mix!
“This mix is an ode to the golden boogie/disco years that influenced Nigerian and West African music to this day.
1979-1983 was a special time in Nigeria. The country was experiencing an influx of wealth and African pop culture. After coming out of a military regime, the youth were looking to ‘just have fun’ so they experimented with synths and traditional hi-life cross over with black American boogie/disco percussion. Any one could sing! It was short lived once the religious regime influenced the country again. And we are left of so many gems and wonders of songs like the pounding of the yam to make fufu flour.”
