Bro… I’m Zimbabwean. My Spotify shuffled me to The Caveman and my life was never the same. There was something familiar about that sound and the nostalgia it brought although foreign to me.

It’s tribal, soulful, spiritual and just different. One of my favorite artists from West Africa.

Great piece.

Roots is definitely one of the best highlife albums in Nigeria. I love your review of the album.

Thank you for reading. I strongly recommend also reading the two articles mentioned. They were guard rails that led here.

I am a bit wary of the prefix Neo especially as it relates beauty. Neo has a dodgy antecedence. Regardless thank you for your comments and for reading.
