Onipa Nua – I Feel Alright

Left field awesomeness from a former-street-performer-turned-singer/songwriter in Ghana who passed away shortly after being discovered. Bombastic rock and gentle folk melodies.

Check out XLR8R’s array of podcasts, I recently did an Awesome Tapes from Africa mix for them, which can be downloaded here.

greetings!
been a while since i’ve had time to wander round the blogland checkin’ out others posts – quite bizarre to stumble here & see this post when i just yesterday ripped a cassette by Onipa called Suffer Head (i’ll be posting it in a few week or so on my blogs) – i have the cd version of ‘i feel alright’ if required, along with a few other Bibini releases (although i generally stick to ripping vinyl & am on a cassette listening spree at home this week!)
