Cousins of Fela, trailblazers in the male-dominated '70s African funk, sisters who had their own way of doing things from raising a family to making music, Nigeria's Lijadu Sisters are Afrobeat's best-kept secret. And Mother Africa, part of Knitting Factory's series of their re-releases, feels like a treasured family secret: quirky little twists through Afropop, funk, psychedelic rock (see the fierce "Bayi L'ense"); a quiet, cozy vibe; and, especially, snug-as-a-bug harmonies delivered, as only sisters can, somewhere between so-close-they're-indistinguishable and oh-so-slightly out-of-synch.
