African Classics from the Archives!

Old Synths, Arrangements that make me smile, interesting lyrics.
William Onyeabor (26 March 1946 – 16 January 2017) was a Nigerian funk musician and businessman. His music was widely heard in Nigeria in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but he remained an enigmatic figure, private and reclusive. Just one of the many artists I am starting to feature in my delvings into old music from 1960's to date. Strange bedfellows for sure  in some cases. Throw in some Afrobeat, Dub, Zydeco, Blues and then some Global spice. Maybe a singer songwriter here and there! Who knows! FYI Todays "Dumped Artist=Bongo Maffin!"
