"When the Lagos party people, especially the Yoruba elite, gets into a marathon 'til dawn jam-down, more often than not they choose the slinky, mesmerizing Afro-funk of juju for their party's soundtrack. A sea of undulating bodies rising and falling to the endless rhythm, swirls in front of a juju band's silvery, ringing guitars, murmuring electric bass and thundering talking drums. Airy lush harmonies, supercharged by a brassy tenor, hang like clouds over all. And the band plays on for six, seven, eight hours with hardly a break." - from the back cover (1985).
