Description
Zamrock musician Mike Nyoni and Born Frees My Own Thing: some of the funkiest music issued on the African continent in the 1970s. Bonus 2nd LP contains the groovy genesis of the Kalindula music Nyoni would master in the 80s
Zambian guitarist and singer/songwriter Mike Nyonis music is Zamrock only because he came of age during the countrys rock revolution. His preferred wah-wah to fuzz guitar, James Brown to Jimi Hendrix. His 70s recordings often politically charged, and ranging from despondent to exuberant are amongst the funkiest on the African continent. He was also one of the only Zamrock musicians to see his music contemporaneously issued in Europe.
This anthology collates works from his three 70s LPs his first, with the Born Free band, and his two solo albums Kawalala and I Cant Understand You and presents a singular Zambian musician on par with celebrated artists Rikki Ililonga, Keith Mlevhu and Paul Ngozi.
