Reissue of Udu's sole LP “Sound of the People” originally released on Love Records (Nigeria) in 1976. It was in Lagos the Udu trio met musician, producer and owner of Love Records Alex Tony Okoroji. Today, Chief Tony Okoroji is a legend of the Nigerian music scene, but back in 1976, just like Udu, he was just starting his recording career. It would be easy to say the record is psychedelic, but at times that's an overused term... it might be better in this instance to suggest the record has an other-worldly ambience, folk in essence and potentially devotional from a regional perspective... musically speaking, the record doesn't fit easily to one of the popular genres of the period. It may have been too subtle for the time and the place… falling through the cracks between Afro-Rock and Afro-Funk. (John Stewart / Dig This Way)
