william onyeabor
world psychedelic classics 5: who is william onyeabor?
LUAKA BOP
this excellent compilation chooses highlights from the recordings of legendary nigerian synth-funk/afro-boogie badman william onyeabor.
onyeabor’s music combined the most appealing elements of afrobeat, disco & r&b with a passion for early electronic instruments & diy recordings, creating his own wholly unique brand of lo-fi synth-funk, shot through with lyrics relating his own personal philosophies & ruminations on life. original pressings of his lps go for hundreds of pounds to serious afro music collectors, so it’s a benevolent gesture for luaka bop to share this true maverick’s compelling musical vision with the world. william has now been crowned a high chief in enugu, where he lives today as a successful businessman working on government contracts & running his own flour mill.
