The incredible Sir Victor Uwaifo!
Ginger Baker jamming with the afro-collective (members of BLO, Lijadu Sisters and Mono-Mono) including Johnny Haastrup on keyboards (wait for Nigeria Rock Special!)

As you well know, many of the tracks found on Nigeria Special are 'super rare' so it is of no surprise that video clips of Nigerian music from 1970-70 are near non-existent online. If you have any footage PLEASE post it onto a Video Hosting Provider (YouTube) and contact us at nigeriaspecialinfo(at)gmail.com

Until then enjoy Sir Victor Uwaifo playing 'retro style' in a post 70s video and two more links to links to artists featuring on Nigeria Specia (Osayomore Joseph and Tunji Oyelana) but in more recent action.


Alphacourt : Thanks - really enjoying the whole package and looking forward to more in the future. Paul Sherratt : What a beautiful site ! Naïm : Absolutely mind-bending and wonderfully ecclectic "snapshot" of a uniquely diverse and rich scene. Soundway did it again! Linda : Brilliant and beautiful and only had 10 minutes of the action yet!
