A strange creature between Miles Davis, Fela Kuti and Jimmy Hendrix, the original African Anarchist Keziah Jones has just released his fourth studio album Nigerian Wood (Because Music). With a successful international career
spanning 2 decades, the world has yet to catch up with him and his unique brand of music he calls BLUFUNK.
Even though the continent is already a massive fan, the UK is lagging way behind on this one, just because marketing a lyrically gifted African man with a guitar still challenges perceptions and understanding of black music. Wahala gets it! We go to capture the action live during Jones
rare appearance at the Londons Jazz Cafe.
We also meet the new generation of Nigerian movers n shakers with artist Bumi Thomas and cultural entrepreneur Yemi from Afro Pop Live. Every Saturday on www.voxafrica.com
most people appearing in the WAHALA show go back home regularly to do exactely that....most Africans I know and work with are spreading the word globally and bringing attention back to Africa...am not Nigerian by the way, but that is the genearal pan-african attitude of the 21st century...52 other Africans countries need to act as one for one Continent!!
