Question Mark – Be Nice to the People LP

Description

“The last great rock LP from Nigeria’s post-Civil War underground.Be Nice to the Peoplewas recorded in 1977 byFelaproducerOdion Iruojeas he chased the runaway success of high school bandOfege. The Western world was in the throes of peace, love and flower power as Nigeria descended into civil war in 1967. The rock scene that developed during the following three years of bloodshed and destruction would come to heal the country, propagate the world-wide ideal of the modern Nigerian, and propel Fela to stardom after the conflict ended in 1970. The members ofQuestion Markwere children when the Nigerian civil war ended and by the time they recorded their only album in 1977 they were college students, chasing rock n’ roll dreams as Afro-beat turned to Afro-disco. Theirs is a fiery reminder of a once vibrant scene.”
