Lucky Stars & Rosy Mornings: The 60s Ibadan Juju Scene

Original Music (Original Music, 418 Lasher Road, Tivoli, NY 12583 914.756.2767) is the warehouse of all things old and unusual, and they have unearthed more treasures on Lucky Stars & Rosy Mornings:

The 60s Ibadan Juju Scene. The death last month of I.K. Dairo has brought a lot of renewed interest in the early roots of juju, and this CD helps to fill the gap of the late 60s and early seventies. Along with Sunny Ade and I.K. Dairo were the lesser known bands represented here, like the exuberant Michael Robinson And His Ever Ready Sports Band or the more Latin influenced Easy Life Dandies. They were the working stiffs of the scene, the club bands without the contracts or fame, but with plenty of musical muscle and local glory, the garage bands of Ibadan.
