Nigeria has produced some of the most diverse, most exciting pop artists to come to the attention of Western audiences. Such performers as King Sunny Ade, Fela Aikulapo-Kuti, Sonny Okosun, I.K. Dairo, Ebenezer Obey and others have helped make African music a key component of the World Beat movement. Konkombe is an extraordinary journey to the Nigerian pop music scene, a perfect introduction to the endlessly fascinating world of African pop's dizzying array of sounds, rhythms and melodies. The film is a musical kaleidoscope of juju, Afro beat, highlife, Afro-pop, and Lagos street music, taking you into the recording studios, to a party given by the Chief of Lagos, into the inner sanctum of major stars and more. It features intimate interviews, recording sessions, and performances by stars of African music; in short, the entire spectrum of the Nigerian pop music scene.
