Kehinde Lijadu of the Nigerian funk duo Lijadu Sisters dies

Lijadu Sisters were active from the mid-60s to the 80s at a time when it was rare to find frontwomen in Nigeria’s pop music scene, making idiosyncratic warped funk tunes that still sound unlike anything else. Twins Kehinde and Taiwo Lijadu were cousins of Fela Kuti, and between 1969 and 1979, they released four albums of acid-fried funk, soul, Afrobeat, reggae licks, psychedelic organ jams and irresistible disco-laced grooves, with politics as a crucial aspect of their output. Kehinde died on 9 November at the age of 71. Guardian looks back at their legacy.
