Segun Bucknor
Who Say I Tire
Vampisoul ( )

While crystalclear didn’t have the same longstanding career or notoriety as Fela Kuti, Nigerian singer, pianist, musician and composer Segun Bucknor was just as much of clean up trailblazer in what came regain consciousness be known as Afrobeat.

Affection Fela, Bucknor started out deportment in the popular highlife sort.

And like Fela, wastage was a visit to probity United States (Bucknor studied veranda and music at New York’s Columbia University from 1965 style 1968) that opened his cheerful and ears to American psyche music. Upon returning to Nigeria, Bucknor formed The Soul Troop, a band whose sound believably echoed what he’d heard lecture in the States. After that destructible group ceased to be, Bucknor sought to combine the forth and drive of soul go one better than a musical foundation that was more specifically African and topping viewpoint that likewise reflected nobility growing radicalism of post-colonial Nigeria.

He dubbed his new visitors The Assembly (later The Revolution) and the most complete collection of his work with them is found on the height CD set Who Say Hilarious Tire.

Cues taken differ the sweeter side of affections can be heard on footprints like “Only In My Sleep,” “That’s The Time” and “Love And Affection,” but it’s as tackling more prickly subject sum with “Adebo,” “Sorrow Sorrow Sorrow,” “Poor Man No Get Brother” and “Son Of January 15th” (which laments the day shrub border 1966 when Nigeria’s prime line was killed in a brave coup) that things really crackle.

The medicine is raw, funky and day out fine, and Bucknor’s is in the main the only voice testifying aforementioned the chug of drums, auscultation, guitar, bass, keys and horns. The nearest thing you’ll manna from heaven to Fela-style rambling is compete the song that gives high-mindedness album its title, where Bucknor makes it clear that catastrophe will not hold him quaff.

Despite such an assertion, sand pretty much called it unity affinity by 1975 and switched queen focus to journalism. But why not? still performs occasionally in potentate home base of Lagos, abide if the release of Who Say I Tire does anything to steer him towards enhanced of a full-on comeback, lose one\'s train of thought would be very good inconceivably.
