Luaka Bop
William Onyeabor was born outside Enugu, a small, rural town in Eastern Nigeria, he created his own genre of African electronic funk in the late 70s and early 80s, making music completely unique for his time. Today, he is reaching cult status among a growing list of admirers, including everyone from Damon Albarn and Hot Chip to Carl Craig and Madlib, with some likening him to the Kraftwerk of West Africa, or a precursor to LCD Soundsystem.
Now for the first time, more than 30 years after the original release, William Onyeabor’s original albums will once again be available!
We believe it’s the perfect time to reap the seeds that have been so carefully sown!!!
