Shina Williams & His African Percussionists

Shina Williams & His African Percussionists – “African Dances” (Mr Bongo MRBLP168) is fluorescent Lagos energy: Afrobeat horns and talking drums meet string‑sweetened disco, synth bass and marathon grooves. Recorded in 1979, its cult classic “Agboju Logun” blends hypnotic percussion with space‑age keys; elsewhere the band swaggers through carnival‑ready call‑and‑response and deep, rolling funk. Mr Bongo’s official reissue restores full dynamics and detail, giving modern systems the weight and sparkle this masterpiece deserves.
