There was a time in the 1970s when the
best band in the Nigeria was actually
from Cameroon. Rock Town Express,
formed out of the ashes of Wrinkar
Experience by Yaounde boys Edjo'o
Jacques Racine and Ginger Forcha, hit
it hard, hit it loud and hit it funky.
Racine and Forcha had been recruited
from Cameroon by Dan Ian and after only
six months, left them stranded in
Nigeria's troubled east. Their first
album as Rock Town Express was released
on Ginger Baker's ARC label in 1974.
This, their second eponymous album,
features a more subdued sepia toned
cover but rocks even harder. The horror
of the Biafran War weighs heavily on
Rock Town Express. The guitars wail,
the horns parp and the synths swirls in
a maelstrom of pain and anger.
'Peaceful Solution' implores people to
live in peace and harmony. 'Spaceville
Rape' bemoans the wanton destruction
that comes with war. And 'Nobody's Man'
is the defiant cry of an ex-soldier
determined to make his own way in the
world. Rock Town Express is an angry
and dark transmission from Nigeria's
east that the war may have been over,
but the scars were still yet to heal. -
