Nigeria had a unique music scene in the 1970s. Much of the era's music was based on an intensive use of fuzz pedal and keyboards. Influences largely came from Western psychedelic blues and rock bands. In 1980 Effi Duke & The Love Family presented their debut-album, 'Mr. Love'. It was released by Homzy Records, a company that issued many Afro-funk records between the mid '70s and the '80s. What's so unique about 'Mr. Love' is Effi Duke's love for guitar based jazz, African rhythms and funky bass. As a result his album is a great funk/jazz/disco hybrid.
