The Doves were an influential 1970s and '80s Nigerian Afro-funk and reggae band renowned for a vibrant, multinational lineup that fused hypnotic African rhythms with soulful social commentary. Fronted by the legendary Maxwell Udoh after 1976 and led by songwriter Patrick Udoh, the group enjoyed a remarkably resilient tenure that left a lasting impact on the West African music scene with classic tracks like "Everything Gonna Be Alright."
