Shina Williams & His African Percussionists - Agboju Logun
Review by Zeke Franco
Agboju Logun is an impressive album by Shina Williams & His African Percussionists. The album features a unique blend of African rhythms and psychedelic funk, making it a must-listen for fans of both genres. The songs are energetic and lively, with Williams' vocals and the percussionists' beats creating a powerful and uplifting sound.
One standout track is "Agboju Logun," the album's title track, which features a catchy chorus and a driving rhythm that is impossible not to dance to. Another standout is "Gboro Mi Ro," which showcases the percussionists' skills with its intricate beats and rhythms.

Notes
- Produced by Niyi (Biddy) Wright (courtesy of Obatala Productions)
- Track durations are not mentioned on the record
- Shina Williams is best known for his collaborations with King Sunny Ade. He co-wrote and produced 'Maajo' and 'Ajoo'. These two songs were taken off his album African Dances (Agboju Logun & Gboro Mi R0) which were greatly appreciated by all who were fortunate enough to acquire this EARTHWORKS import.
- 'Agboju Logun' was well received by the hottest DJ's in London and it is with great pleasure that EARTHWORKS/ROUGH TRADE make these songs available. Some of the best fusion-Afrobeat to hit the dancefloor. June 1984
