Blo - Don't Pull The Form Under Me (Nigerian Afro funk, 1975, Afrodisia)

Hi !

Today, I decided to present you a Nigerian Afro Rock & Funk classic band, B.L.O.

B for Berkely "Ike" Jones, on the guitar and vocals

L for Laolu "Akins" Akintobi, on the drums

O for Mike "Gbenga" Odumosu

Blo was formed by 3 musicians that used to be very prolific on the Nigerian musical scene of the 70's.

They released 6 records, and played with some great Nigerian musicians, such as Segun Bucknor (Pianist), Tunde Williams (Trumpetist) or Joni Haastrup (Organist).

Here is an extract of their 3rd LP, hope you'll like it !

Happy New Year my dear reader reader !!!

To begin this new new year 2015, here is a little track taken from the second LP from the "Freedom Family" Band, a Nigerian Disco Funk group based in Lagos back from the 70's.

Their First LP, "Ayentsoo", was recorded in 1974 and has been reissued, you can find it easily at your favourite record store.

I decided to make you discover a track taken from their second LP, more obscure, out in 1979.

Hope you'll like it !

Sincerely yours, all the best for 2015,
