Mad Man Jaga - Wakabout

by Dig This Way Records

supported by

Plasnes Funky as fuck Afrobeat and beautiful Reggae. Everything is layered perfectly and the way the keyboard and guitar call and respond on some tracks is just so catchy. The Saxophone player is on POINT! This is an awesome album, recommended for anybody who likes good reggae and funk. Favorite track: Hankuri.

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
We are proud to present the fully restored and remastered edition of Mad Man Jaga’s “Wakabout” LP, originally released on Sir Victor Uwaifo's label JOROMI (Nigeria, 1978).

Musically the LP is a fairly unique collection of slightly off-killer percussive afrobeat funk; the arrangements are brass friendly, slick on the keys and framed with a rich resonant deep soul vocal and to complement the funk, the record also feature a finest example of African Reggae Roots cut to vinyl : "Tell Me Why You Cry" . This Lp is unique collection of music which until now has remained out of sight of a wider audience.

In addition to the original release the reissue will contain "a bonus seventh track". During the mastering process we found an early test pressing of the LP from 1978 with an extra track on it… we put the project on hold so as we could remake the lacquer for the first side to include the mystery track.

The Lp comes with an amazing POSTER made with original pictures of Andrew Vekaan Daboh aka Mad Man Jaga on stage and in his fancy poses and original style!!!
