Born in 1943 in Ikole-Ekiti in Ondo State, Nigeria, Orlando Julius Ekemode (“Orlando was really a nickname, taken from the Nigerian actor, Orlando Martins“) had started in music from an early age, becoming the school drummer and learning flute, bugle and other instruments at St Peters Anglican School in Ikole-Ekiti. Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he is credited as one of the first musicians to fuse US R\u0026amp;B into traditional highlife music, creating his own influential Afrobeat sound during the mid-‘60s. From his time playing in the USA during the 1970s onwards, he is credited with bringing African music to a broader audience and famously co-composed the song “Going Back To My Roots” with Lamont Dozier. In 1978, Orlando Julius Ekemode decided to produce himself this amazing session, originally recorded between Maryland and West Virginia (USA) and released in limited quantity in Nigeria by the obscure label Jungle Records. 6 stunning Afro-Funk monster tracks, recorded by 8 musicians based in Oakland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Casa","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50449547624779,"sku":"1011963","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cc19dcff-069e-462a-b27f-75a9450be85d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727104617"},{"product_id":"yellow-fever-3","title":"Yellow Fever","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sixth album from Hot Tuna (Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady \u0026amp; Bob Steeler) would become one of their hardest rocking power trio album's ever in their large catalogue of blues\/rock projects over the last 5 decades.
