From Soundway—which continues to explore music from around the world, with a focus on Africa and Latin America—comes a collection of Nigerian digital reggae from 1986–1991. 2LP. Nigerian Underground. Featuring 14 rare tracks of conscious roots, digital reggae, deep roots, and dub—genres that likely served as both a means of resistance and a form of identity under the military regime. Highly recommended.
