Abeg, borrow me that cd
I think all Nigerian music fans have at one time or another (but more likely all the time) experienced difficulty obtaining nigerian music. Especially difficult are new albums from lesser-known or upcoming acts.
If you’re in Lagos, your best bet is to head over to Silverbird Galeria, or you can try your luck at Alaba International. Otherwise, it’s a game of hit or miss with the local vendors and other shops.
It’s this very situation that makes the following intro skit from Black Tribe’s debut album so funny. Check out the choice quotes and audio below.
You get black tribe? You get the cd? Abeg, borrow me that cd…
Hey angela, how far?… Abeg, I fit collect black tribe cd for your hand…
Na me you dey curse? Because of black tribe?!
