Musa Okwonga (Benin City)

Keenan Bailey — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 11:13:11 +0000

An eclectic mix of rock, soul, jazz, funk and afro beat, creating the undertone for some eccentric and sometimes subterranean spoken word, almost describes the sound of Benin City. A band on the rise, in sighting and entertaining the young and old of London’s music aficionados’ and unknowns. Already a resident at E4’s udder belly [...]

Shades of Light

Keenan Bailey — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:59:47 +0000

We take the examples and move but then shuffle, No need for instruction truth is placed upon a mantle, So we dismantle, Create alternate paths Misconstrued within music and art, The real resides within your heart Few remain conscious, The rest just drift along, It doesn’t matter if you scream purple haze or sing redemption [...]
