A recommendation from GILLES PETERSON has come in as well. Curated by "JAZZHOLE," the record shop long hailed as a cornerstone of the Lagos music scene, this major compilation gathers previously unreleased music recorded in Nigeria! Spanning Afro-funk, Afrobeat, palm-wine, juju and highlife, it's a sonic journey where addictive grooves meet funky melodies.

A major compilation project long envisioned and produced by "JAZZHOLE," the venerable shop in the heart of Lagos with over 30 years of history! This second volume, "Asiko Tito," is an ambitious project JAZZHOLE first embarked on back in the late '90s, spotlighting gifted talents from all over Lagos. Covering a wide range of sounds—Afrobeat, Yoruba funk, Afro-funk, highlife, spiritual jazz and more—it creates a unique listening experience in which traditional rhythms fuse with the modernity of the day.
"Totally satisfying... it doesn't get better than this. It's packed with immeasurable cultural value and history both old and new," raves GILLES PETERSON. Be sure to check the tracklist too. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
