For today, I wanted to share with you “Caution“, a groovy psychedelic funky 70s Afro Soul Rock track from Nigeria, taken from the only & ultra hard to find LP from the band “Voices Of Darkness“, recorded in 1974 in Lagos & released on the mythical Nigerian label “Afrodisia“.
Leaded by Joe Brown, the group was composed with the following Nigerian & Cameroonian musicians :
Organ, Lead Guitar, Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Piano : Joe Brown ;
Bass Guitar, Vocals : Celestine Nyam Anderson ;
Alto Saxophone, Percussion : Denise Kenneth ;
Congas, Vocals, Timbales : Emmanuel Ebot ;
Trumpet, Congas : Emmanuel Ovo ;
Drums : Paul Mony ;
The version presented here is the ultra rare misspress of the LP (pressing plant error !), released in the mid 70s in France with the (wrong) cover & labels of an (existing) album from the Juju & Highlife Nigerian master Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, but hopefully with the same tracks as on the original “Afrodisia” press of the Voices Of Darkness album – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
