Search - Kola Ogunkoya :: My Darling

KOLA OGUNKOYA LANDOVER, Maryland USA MY DARLING MY DARLING KOLA OGUNKOYA Released: January 25, 2005 Genre: World Music Format: CD (Full Length) Available through our distribution partners. "MY DARLING..." HAS ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS FOR THAT FAMILIAR AFRO-SOUL NIGERIAN SOUND. In the style of AFRO-BEAT, a combination of western jazz with Nigerian music instruments and languages pioneered and internationalized by the late FELA KUTI, "My Darling..." is an upbeat album making a positive statement about the issues facing all of humanity. The beat is a unique mixture of African, Afro-Cuban, Jazz and Funk with driving horn lines, a precision tight rhythm section and tradition inspired vocals sung in various AFRO-FUNK:a distinctly original funkandgroove take on Fela-Kuti style of AFRO-BEAT. Kola Ogunkoya's mission statement: You'll enjoy listening, but I bet you'll get up and dance. African dialects.
