Looking for some music to turn heads at your next party, but annoyed everyone else has cottoned on to William Onyeabor? Grab yourself a copy of The Lijadu Sisters' Danger quick smart, and they'll be Shazam-ing at your soirée before you know it. As funky, fierce, and fabulous as anything else that landed in 1976, this is a bona fide essential reissue. These harmonising, happening Nigerian twin sisters knew what was what! - Flying Out
“Danger” (1976) was the Lijadu Sisters’ radical first international release, featuring the politically charged anthem “Cashing In”, its powerful opening track Danger with “funk in abundance”, and the hit Life’s Gone Down Low, which later on was sampled by Nas.
With lyrics mostly in English, it drew on Afrobeat, reggae and soul and was the beginning of a fruitful relationship with producer and multi-instrumentalist Biddy Wright. Wright played most of the instruments assisted by traditional drummers and percussionists. As the Irish Times wrote in 2011, “He was adept at accentuating the uniquely beautiful vocal harmonies that were the sisters’ trademark. The way they glide around the melodies in unison is a thing of beauty and Wright’s languid and uncluttered production afford them plenty of room to take flight.”
