LIJADU SISTERS
Double Trouble
1984 U.S. & Canada pressing
Where to begin with THIS wonderful record…
Kehinde + Taiwo Lijadu were identical twins. They made 5 awesome records; ALL mixed #funk #soul #afrobeat #reggae … a rad melting pot of amazing music.
This first came out in ‘79 (under the name Horizon Unlimited), in Algeria only.
It was then reissued in ‘84 in North America (this) & again in 2012 & 2024.
The bass &percussion on this is amazing.

@TheVinylApe awesome to see that this and a few other releases are available on bandcamp (not sure what the new vinyl quality would be, but the artwork on your pressing looks much cooler)

@TheVinylApe If it's from or related to Africa since the 50s, It's potentially on my blog (found in the fediverse here: @blogamf ).
