Having already appeared on Soundway’s best-selling compilation ‘Doing It In Lagos’ Nkono Teles, known primarily for featuring on, producing or arranging for over 100 other artists in and around Nigeria in the 80s (including as a keyboard player in Tony Allen’s solo band, right after splitting with Fela Kuti) is finally getting the international recognition he rightly deserves with Soundway’s retrospective mini-compilation ‘Love Vibration’. Full of funky-boogie rhythms, his forward thinking use of drum machines, mixed with guitars and affordable synthesisers helped to define the Nigerian music of the 80s. For fans of William Onyeabor, Letta Mbulu and Steve Monite.
