Box Set
“Last year, David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label released Who is William Onyeabor?, a compilation of the obscure, but increasingly influential Nigerian musician William Onyeabor. Now follows a 9xCD box set that collects the entirety of Onyeabor’s recorded output.”
World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor?
“Luaka Bop’s Who is William Onyeabor? posits the mysterious late 70s/early 80s Nigerian funk musician William Onyeabor for a 21st century audience. Listening to the nine-song compilation, it makes sense that the likes of Four Tet, James Holden, and Caribou have already been buzzing with their accolades for him.”
