Oluko Imo - Oduduwa / Were Oju Le (The Eyes Are Getting Red) - 12"

12" Single, Reissue

A reissue of the 1980s 12" single from Trinidadian musician Oluko Imo (Black Truth Rhythm Band), featuring Fela Kuti and Femi Kuti. Recorded between Lagos and New York in 1988, the tracks sit at the fault line of the Trinidad–Yoruba connection, blending Caribbean calypso heritage with the Afrobeat and jazz of Nigeria. The title track "Oduduwa" is a brooding slice of peak-era transatlantic Afrobeat, while the flip "Were Oju Le (The Eyes Are Getting Red)" pairs classic Nigerian horns and keys with Caribbean-influenced guitar and a virtuoso Fela sax solo.
