Jones, Berkely Ike
Nation Building
'Nation Building' is a real forgotten gem from the late '70s and is among the very best Afro-beat disco LPs ever. Berkely Ike Jones is one of the icons of the Nigerian scene being the guitarist and founder of BLO. He played with many bands like with Ofege on their 'Try And Love' album and he also appeared on many other great albums by artists like Steve Black, Lijadu Sisters, Tee Mac, Kris Okotie, Sonny Okosun's Ozziddi, 'Blackman' Akeeb Kareem, Mixed Grill, Don Bruce & The Angels and Felix Lebarty and jammed and toured with Ginger Baker. 'Nation Building' is his solo project recorded in the late 1970s and released on Skylark Records. The original LP is extremely rare and very expensive, so this is your chance to grab your copy and listen to some really great Afro-beat music.
