Description
Reissue of this album by Nigerian multi-instrumentalist Joni Haastrup and his band MonoMono !Re-issued on replica gatefold LP with bonus 12" vinyl.
Soundway have been championing Joni Haastrup since day one featuring MonoMono tracks on both the �Nigeria Special!� and �Nigeria Rock Special!� releases. Most recently Joni appears as a guest keys players on Black Goddess, an Afro-jazz soundtrack collaboration with Remi Kabaka.
Growing up in a royal household in Nigeria, Joni Haastrup began his musical journey performing for his brothers band Sneakers and was quickly snapped up as a vocalist for O.J. Ekemode and his Modern Aces� �Super Afro Soul� LP, one of Afro-beat�s formative LPs. Soon after, Ginger Baker of Cream fame replaced Steve Winwood with Joni on keys for Airforce�s UK concerts in �71 and the success of the collaboration led to further shows with Baker as part of the SALT project before he returned to Nigeria to set up MonoMono.
