Eric Kol

Nigeria |1920| English

Born under Nigeria's post-colonial sun, Eric Kol's musical journey mirrored the nation's vibrant spirit. He started out belting covers in the soulful 60s, then birthed The Soul Kings in the 70s, crafting original tunes pulsating with funk and groove. But it was 1981's "Today" that cemented his legacy. This disco masterpiece, a hypnotic blend of Western influences and traditional rhythms, captured the infectious optimism of a Nigeria on the move. Though "Today" became a rare gem, its re-emergence in 2019 introduced Eric Kol's infectious grooves to a new generation, reminding us of the Nigerian maestro who once ruled the boogie nights. Kol is a true Nigerian music legend.
