I found about William Onyeabor somewhere online (not from an algorithm, nor from a friend) and I've been enjoying him lately. Nigerian funk, if one could say so. Enjoy! :) http://www.letsloop.com/orlindan https://sundayfreakshow.wordpress.com/
This guy is so good. Possibly my favourite discovery of the past few months.

Listening to this on loop until the ropey live recordings of Glastonbury are done and it's safe to turn the radio on again. Absolutely magical song.
#AfricaWeek may be over, but had to squeeze this one in. Just recently bought an excellent compilation of this Nigerian funk maestro's music, after it was compiled by David Byrne's Luaka Bop record label.
