Summary
"The Western world was in the throes of peace, love and flower power as Nigeria descended into Civil War in the 1967. The rock scene that developed during the following three years of bloodshed and destruction would come to heal the country, propagate the world-wide ideal of the Modern Nigerian, and propel Fela to stardom after conflict ended in 1970"--
