eric kol: today

See this content in the original post

Flying through time, the musical movement of the early 80s in Africa has in Eric Kol’s Today album one of its prodigious releases. This extremely rare boogie classic, that almost never appears for sale, is reissued for the first time by BBE, once again delivering the invaluable work of keeping these records alive for new generations.

Today is a work that sees the seasoned soulful vocalist Eric Kol in his best shape, singing on afro-soul-rock canvas, well accompanied by multi-instrumentalist and all-round arranging talent of Jake Sollo (ex Funkees, Osibisa, etc.) and Lagos studio pioneer Chief Tabansi, plus crew. Taking place on every seasoned Nigerian vinyl junkie’s ‘want’ lists, Today will probably fly out of every store in no time. An incredible piece to collect and appreciate for years.
