Special request from Barranquilla, Colombia.
Nico Mbarga was an extremely popular nigerian artist who, from what I hear, in this song tilted the gloomy west african modal music just enough towards the sunny congolese rumba sound. I don't know much about nigerian music but the metric of these lyrics reminds me of Fela Kuti. I wonder from which common tradition that comes.
I must admit that I didn't know him before receiving those 150+ requests from Barranquilla.
Hope to also add one day Mbarga's "sweet mother" to these videos.
