The sheer breadth of talent on display in Original Afro Classics shows just how much of a powerhouse Nigeria was for rock, jazz and Afrobeat throughout the ’70s. The compilation features familiar names like Tony Allen—the former Fela Kuti drummer who teams with His Afro Messengers for the levitating “No Discrimination”. But there’s also Afro Cult Foundation achieving Coltrane-esque transcendence over unstoppable drums on “The Quest”, while Blo’s chill-out jam “Chant to Mother Earth” is perfect for late-night mystic rituals.
