No Show Orlando

I had been looking forward to seeing veteran Nigerian afro-funk pioneer Orlando Julius in concert later this week. Then I heard this morning that the show has been postponed. The promoters are a bit vague as to the reasons, but one website suggests it is some sort of visa problem. Whatever the cause, let's hope it is sorted out by May, when the show has been rescheduled for. Until then, we can tide ourselves over by listening to a couple of his groovy tunes.

"Jagua Nana 2" - Orlando Julius

"Ijo Soul" - Orlando Julius

And now for something completely different (but really rather wonderful).
