In this Bukky’s latest offering, he has assembled some of his
favourite DJs and producers including his old comp Rende Gillies
Peterson Orlando Voorn Lesley Lawrence. His dear friend the
godfather of Dub Dennis Bovell. Featuring original material
compositions.
- OBEDUN (Sweet SOUP) - Mixed by Orlando Voorn Inspired by his
cultural background Bukky goes in search of the cuisine traditions of
his mother land Nigeria. He sings praises of his favourite traditional
African cuisines. Sang in his native dialect Yoruba language. - GENRE JAM – Afrobeat recently became a recognised genre. Whereby
the unique percussion driven with soulful guitar hook lines and
melodic piano phrases can be incorporated any genre as a version. - UNISEX DILENMA - it’s just light-hearted, tongue in cheek commentary
on the interplay between men and women and some of the stereotypical
ways we see relationships, it’s nuanced and that’s why it’s called Unisex
Dilemma. Meaning people shouldn’t take the song too literally. - ANNARKEY – Mixed by the Godfather of Dub Dennis Bovell. This a
great example 0f Genre Jam whereby Rock or Reggae can be
intertwined with Afrobeat. Especially from the Latin Rhythms which
are all influenced by Afrobeat. - SUMMER BREEZE – Mixed by Lesley Lawrence is Jazzy instrumental
track. It draws from Bukky’s past recording and associations with the
giants of Jazz i.e. Clifford Jarvis, Bob Ra Kalan Moses, and playing with
Tony Allen who is heavily influenced Art Blackey and Max Roach.
