The recordings presented on these 2 LP's were made during two periods of stay in Idege 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 Idege by perusal of the accompanying notes.

I'm trying multiupload for this one in the hope it gives some more possibilities if you have problem downloading from one or the other of the services!
No amount of thanks are enough for what you continue to do, bo! Your passion and meticulousness are a great inspiration. Thank you for another interesting expedition to a hardly known corner of our world...these treasures need to be preserved!
On a lighter note, you just gotta love the name of the record label. And that logo is priceless! ;)
