William Onyeabor – Good Name

Luaka Bop finally unleashes single vinyl editions of all the William Onyeabor classic albums ! Now a high chief and Kenyan diplomat, Onyeabor was once one of Africa’s most forward-thinking popular music contributors. Released in 1983, toward the end of his eight album discography, the two extended cuts on Good Name reflect the emergence of electronic music and how it influenced African pop culture. With conscious lyrics about value and soul, both tracks capture one of the most exciting times in recent musical history.
