2012 album that brings together the best track from their four albums. Recorded for the Afrodisia label in Nigeria. Including 'Danger' (1976), 'Mother Africa' (1977), 'Sunshine' (1978) and 'Horizon Unlimited' (1979). The Lijadu Sisters were the most successful female group in Nigeria in the 1970s and managed to overturn many stereotypes and attitudes as they carved out a unique space for themselves in a predominantly male arena. Their influences ranged from female soul singers such as Aretha Franklin, The Pointer Sisters and Miriam Makeba to the afro-beat of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as well as the juju music of I.K. Dairo and the highlife of Victor Olaiya.
