Ayo Manuel - 1983-90 LP

Label: Soundway

This mini compilation selects the stand out cuts from Ayo Manuel's two albums Love Candidate and Party Time, showcasing the evolution of Ayo's music. Side A is led by "Song Of Love (Instrumental)" – mid-tempo, synth-heavy, toeing the line between lo-fi crunch and sophisticated charm. This is followed by afro-disco melters "Don't Stop" and the aptly titled "Fun Time." Both with strong American, disco-funk leanings but full of Nigerian flavour, they come signed, sealed and delivered for any dance floor.
