About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: THE FRIIMEN MUZIK COMPANY (also known as FRIIMEN) was formed after the Biafran war in 1973-1974 in the town of ABA in the eastern part of Nigeria. Aba was the Number 1 Music Hub in the entire Eastern Region of Nigeria. While bands and artists like 'Ofege' and 'Fela Kuti' ruled the LAGOS scene, bands like 'Friimen' and 'The Apostles' were ruling the ABA scene. Before forming the band, most of it's members were already working together as freelance session musicians backing up solo artists on several recordings and concerts (or were playing in military bands that gradually became civilian bands because the war had just ended). FRIIMEN members' credits were numerous and they played, wrote or performed on recordings from well-known acts like The Funkees, The Jets, The Apostles... and countless others. When they started concentrating on writing their own songs, the group instantly took off and became an overnight hit that resulted in them doing multiple successful nationwide tours. FRIIMEN would go on to record three albums Free Man (1976), We Can Get It On (1978) and Merry Man (1979). All three albums were released on the Aba based tag Anodisc Records (THE key tag to be on if you wanted your music heard and out there), Anodisc also released hit records by 'Sweet Unit' and 'Voice Of The Cross' but The Friimen Muzik Company was the tag's signature band. The Friimen Muzik Company was so solid that every new group or artist wanted the Friimen to back them up in the recording studio. As a result, Anodisc Records received tons of demo cassettes from aspiring artists... The tag would then first consult the Friimen members to see if these new acts were worthy of giving a chance to record and an album for Anodisc. Over the course of the years the band went through several line-up changes... but in 1980 the band finally broke up and their story came to an end. The album we are p
