Product: Konkombe - The Nigerian Pop Music Scene (1979)
Rating: 4.0
Good but yet deficient
The DVD is a good addition to any collection. A review of Nigerian Pop Music scene is at best deficient without any discussion of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. Nonetheless, the DVD provides a cursory look of what I had long desired, King Sunny Ade on the stage in the 70s. Though very short, vintage Sunny Ade was great to watch and priceless. All in all, the DVD's attempt to bridge the past with the current is merely satisfactory. It also has J.O Araba playing one of his tracks. Araba is one of the pioneers of juju music.
