Repress without the bonus 45! This album, recorded by the Nigerian rock group Semi-Colon in 1976, was an experimental response to Fela Kuti�s then-dominant afrobeat sound, substituting Fela�s sophisticated horn charts and jazz leanings with wiry electric guitar work and a passion for vintage rock �n� roll. Long fabled and coveted amongst collectors and DJs alike, the album has remained one of the rarest of the Nigerian 1970s �afro� cycle", and now Comb & Razor Sound is reissuing this lost gem of Afro-rock for a new audience !

This reissue marks the second release from Comb & Razor Sound, following up the success of its inaugural offering, 2011�s Nigerian disco and boogie compilation Brand New Wayo, which was
spotlighted on NPR�s All Things Considered and received favorable mention on its �Song of the Day.� The new edition of Afro-Jigida continues Comb & Razor�s exploration of rare, cutting-edge popular music produced in Nigeria in the 1970s and 80s. Afro-Jigida will be initially released in its original six-track vinyl format, with a deluxe CD release to follow at a later date.
