Description
"Ahead of the Lagos film premiere of "Ki'mon!: The Eastern Nigerian Afro-Funk Revolution 1970-1980," taking place on March 17, the African Music Library sat down with Afro-Funk veteran Eddie Offeyi, drummer and founding member of the Port Harcourt Afro-Funk band Heads Funk. In this conversation, Offeyi takes listeners on a journey through the history of Afro-Funk music coming out of the East, which to him fully finds life following the fallout of the Nigeria-Biafra War in 1970. Listen in as he name-drops his contemporaries, who formed groundbreaking bands like the Funkees, Wrinkars Experience, the Apostles, and more, and who shaped Nigeria's robust soundscape for years to come."
