Since their formation in 1973, the band has turned out memorable performances in a variety of styles including rock, soul, funk, pop and reggae. The Apostles amassed a large following, enjoyed an immense success throughout Nigeria and went on to release multiple albums. Although most of their songs are sung in English, a few of their songs are also sung in Igbo. The Apostles became superstars on the strength of several hit singles and have been preaching a particular blend of funky psychedelic soul\/rock fusion for over 40 years. The LP we are presenting you here Black Is Beautiful (1977) is one of the most enjoyable albums of the Afrobeat era: proud, assured, relaxed and extremely powerful. Black Is Beautiful contains a heavy mix of wailing guitars, swirling funky organ sounds and James Brown-style vocals. It is one of their best albums (also one that became a fixture in many East Nigerian homes) and an essential Afro-Funk record to add to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Huzzle for Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Be Mischevious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnyim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday Is the Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Sorry I Made You Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Is Beautiful, Ndi Nkwa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"705","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556272181544,"sku":"75250599227","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3756091-2519104.jpg?v=1763981639","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/apostles-black-is-beautiful-lp-75250599227","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
