In addition, they have released countless collections of rare disco, funk, Afrobeat, African pop, and steamy reggae from the catacombs of history. Among the label's accomplishments are the Nigeria 70 comps that began release in 2001; they are chock-full of stunning cross-pollinations of funk, jazz, rock, soul, and traditional African musics.
