{"product_id":"african-dances","title":"African Dances","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst official reissue of the extremely rare full-length album by Lagos-based bandleader Shina Williams. Clean copies of the original currently sell for up to £500. The record was born in 1979 when Shina put Biddy Wright, Fred Fisher, Saliu Alabi, Prince Bola, Tutu Shoronmu, Tunde Willimas and several other decorated Nigerian musicians - who played with the likes of Fela Kuti, SJOB Movement, Sonny Okoson, King Bucknor amongst others - together to record. The result is \u003ci\u003eAfrican Dances\u003c\/i\u003e, a timeless fusion of afrobeat, electronics, boogie and disco. Includes his most well-known song, \u003ci\u003eAgboju Logun\u003c\/i\u003e that Williams knew was ground breaking - “I want to show the whole wide world that Africa is alive with modern musicians to reckon with anywhere,”. This album version is a different mix to the two-track 12” that came out under on Earthworks, Rough Trade in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471555694923,"sku":"1032544","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6982c6bc-98c2-470e-96d5-c465102cfcec_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727407529","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/african-dances","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
