Moos, thank you as always for sharing this LP with us. I was just expecting it to be an “ordinary” Tabu Ley LP. Good, so far. Should be nice listening, and so it proves. However, track 4 is a total revelation. Tabu Ley has discovered Juju dub. Remarkable! This track has made my “best of” 2021 playlist already. It is almost contemporary in its style, reminding me of some of the Prince Fatty mixes of the last few years, such as his take on Dele Sosimi’s You No Fit Touch Am LP.
I will have to do some research and see who was responsible for the production and whether Tabu Ley ever did anything else like this. It is so different from the rest of the LP, there must be a story. Did he listen to King Sunny Adé in New York and think “hey, I like this”?
It certainly is a weird track Tim,
I don’t know what to think of it myself.
Absolutely like nothing he did before,
glad it made it to your best of list ..
