Subtitle: Music and dance associations of the Igede of Nigeria. Recorded and edited by Björn Ranung. = Musiikki- ja tanssiseuroja Nigerian Igedessä. Äänittänyt ja toimittanut Björn Ranung. Gatefold sleeve. Comes with a 16-page booklet. The title of the record, sleevenotes and the booklet are in English and in Finnish. Field recordings from 1965, 1971-72 with extensive notes, explanations and translations of lyrics by Björn Ranung. The recordings presented on these 2 LP's were made during two periods of stay in Igede in Nigeria, the first from September to December in 1965 and the second from August 1971 to March 1972. Recorded with a Nagra III and a dynamic microphone MD 21. The Igede live on the southern edge of the Benue Plateu mainly within the Oturkpo division. The notes accompanying this release are a most valuable resource for the understanding of what social context and for what purpose this music was played and made and they make good reading while listening to the album. It is evident that a lot of research has gone into the analysiz of texts and rituals and there is much to be understood about the cosmology and traditions of the Igede by perusal of the accompanying notes.
