Punctuating Their Music: The Semi-Colon and "Ebenebe"

Other than finding out from little tidbits on the internet that The Semi-Colon, the artists performing today's random tune, were a 70s era Nigerian band that served as a counterpoint to the great Fela Kuti's psychedelic Afro-funk, I couldn't find much more on them. They have apparently released six albums, the last in 1986. So today I'll simply let you enjoy this upbeat tune, called Ebenebe. Ebenebe can be found on The Semi-Colon's 1976 album Ndia Egbuo Ndia (Afro Jigida), which was re-released in 2013.
