Sam Samuelson of AMG gave it a 4.5 out of 5 stars, further describing it as “Kuti and Africa 70’s most popular and impacting record.” Zombie is still the song it was, with a theme still very relevant in today’s socio-economic situation of things, thus earning its place in our Flashback for this week.

6. Artiste: Lagbaja
Song Title: Never Far Away
Song Details: Never Far Away is a brilliant record from multi-talented, award-winning Afrobeat star; popularly known for his representing the ‘faceless’ and ‘voiceless’ in society today, an image he creates with the mask. This one is a cool, mid-tempo love song that rests on the shoulders of African sounds and original instrumentation.
7. Artiste: Junior & Pretty
Song Title: Monika
Song Details: Ever green material here, this one leads us back as far as 1991, to a time when our music still had a much different vibe compared to what we have on air today. Junior and Pretty brings many fond memories back with this one. Solid.
8. Artiste: Tuface
Song Title: Ole
Song Details: Feel good music from the “Face 2 Face” album, this was one of the jams that stood out Tuface Idibia as a solo artiste in the Nigerian music space.
9. Artiste: Femi Kuti
Song Title: Sorry Sorry
Song Details: Released in 1998 on the album “Shoki Shoki”, the song addresses the social turmoil in the land today. And the interesting part of this is that issues facing Nigeria as a nation as at then still are a major subject today.
10. Artiste: Remedies
Song Title: Shakomo
Song Details: Released in 1998, this was a major mainstream material those years from the group. And frankly, it still gets us nodding.
