Alex Zito's greatest hit song was easily Walakolombo. I remembered that song just this morning after someone mentioned Alex O's Bubble and Shuffle. Those were the days.

There was a reggae music boom in Nigeria in the 1980s and 1990s. It was used as one of the vehicles in the fight against military rule in Nigeria and apartheid in South Africa. These are some of the biggest Nigerian reggae songs of the 1980s and 1990s. You can add more.

this was such a nice track....

It's hard to get but there's an intro,a ghetto non instrumental intro before the main track
Thanks for sharing these greats.


After thought: oops!! Actually not this track that got the intro...it's actually "Tribulation"
