Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incredible collection of vibrant Nigerian record cover designs from the second half of the 20th century, most of which have never been seen outside of Africa This unique large-format book features hundreds and hundreds of unique and stunning record sleeve designs from Nigeria that span a period from the country's independence in 1960 through much of the second half of the 20th century--a time in which Nigerian artists and the Nigerian music industry thrived both at home and abroad. During this period, high-profile Nigerian artists such as Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Sonny Okosun, Haruna Ishola, Oriental Brothers International Band, Tony Allen, Blo and Chief Ebenezer Obey became national and international stars. Many more Nigerian artists established successful careers at home and yet remain virtually unknown outside of Nigeria to this day. This book features the most important Nigerian artists both at home and abroad (as well as many of those that have remained unknown outside of the country), bringing together a vast array of rare, classic and stunning visual sleeve designs that document more than 50 years of the amazing musical, graphic art and social history of Nigeria.

Primarily transmitted through oral means has in the last century received significant scholarly attention. Areas like folksong documentation, ethno-organological studies, popular music studies and art music have continued to feature in scholarly discourse. Societal dynamism allows room for scholarly reassessment and evaluation of aspects of Nigerian music; thus, reflecting change and continuity in the area. It is within this cusp that this book looks at contemporary trajectories in Nigerian music.

Book excerpt: In 1967, the Western world was in the throes of peace, love and flower power. Meanwhile, Nigeria was descending into civil war. It seems fair to say the milieu rock emerged out of in Nigeria and in the west was somewhat different! Nonetheless, aesthetically, sonically and politically, much of the rock music that was developing in parallel was directly comparable to that emerging from the USA and Europe. Nigerian rock ultimately helped heal the country by propagating the world-wide idea of the Modern Nigerian, making Nigeria relatable to the rockers of the West. This is its story.
