Willy N'For

This double album is a compilation of Willy Nfor's most-sought after Nigerian LPs. The album has the Mighty Flames at their prime. The quality of musicianship and production is soaked with timeless class and funkiness.

For any budding African musician in the mid-seventies, Nigeria was the place to be. “We left Cameroon without any contacts in Nigeria, we were young and to us it was a big adventure. We had heard about the upcoming FESTAC Arts Festival and we felt we needed to get involved." "The first band we played in was, Pentagon Funk Band, a band
sponsored by the 5th Brigade in Port Harcourt. From there we moved to Onitsha to sign with Right Time Stores (RTS), we recorded Sweet Love (RTLPS 011) as The Mighty Flames. The sessions were at Decca Studios at Akoka area of Lagos, they had a 16 track analog recording unit. It was like jazz, you had to be on top of your game as a musician,
you couldn’t erase the guitar lines or drums and redo it like with digital, one person slips up, you start all over again... So we rehearsed and rehearsed and then we went down and recorded the takes".
