For today, I’d like to share with you “Talk To Me“, an irresistible 70s Afro Soul Boogie Funk joy maker track from Nigeria driven by gorgeous flute parts, taken from the 1st album of the Nigerian composer & flutist Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, recorded in 1978 by the mythical EMI Nigeria studios sound engineers Kayode Salami & Monday Oki and released on the Nigerian record label “Skylark Records”.

Produced by the legendary Nigerian figure Odion Iruoje, M. Tee Mac is backed on this album by the “Tee Mac Collection” band, that includes some of the best musicians of that era as :

Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli : Writings, Composition & Arrangements, Composition, Flute, Lead Vocals, Tenor Saxophone ;

Jett Arnold Nylander : Rhythm Guitar ;

Congas : Eddy Odedina, Friday Pozo ;

Mike Collins : Drums, Percussion ;

James Eyefia : Lead Guitar ;

Really hard to find album nowadays, master piece from start to finish – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
