Peterson Orlando Voorn Lesley Lawrence. His dear friend the

compositions.

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. 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.
