For today, I wanted to share with you “Metalik Funk“, an instant catchy downtempo 70s Afro Soul Boogie Funk Rock track from Nigeria with ultra groovy Synth parts, taken from the first album of the band “Mighty Flames“, formed on the nucleus of the former Port-Harcourt “Flames” band, and that recorded three albums in Nigeria in the 70s.

The band was composed with the best Nigerian & Cameroonian musicians of that era, as :

Willy Nfor : Bass Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocals ;

Vincent Ekedi : Drums, Congas ;

Didi Lead : Lead Guitar ;

George Achini : Lead Guitar, Vocals ;

Frankie Ntoh Song : Organ, Piano, Tambourine, Vocals ;

Emma “Wah-Wah” Baloka : Rhythm Guitar ;

Stormy Jimmy : Vocals, Percussion ;

One of my favorite song of the band, hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !
