Bucknor, Kingsley
Just U And Me
Nigerias Kingsley Bucknors Just U and Me LP gets the long-awaited reissue treatment from Melbournes Left Ear Records. After cutting his teeth playing with Fela in the 70s and releasing two afrobeat LPs Kingsley travelled the globe before finding himself in London, its here that he laid down 6 distinctive electro-funk tunes inspired by African rhythms and music hed heard through his travels in the States and in Europe. Originally issued on Kinglsleys own KAB records in 85 and according to Kingsley the release was well received at the time, but due to constraints of international marketing the record remained mostly unknown outside of his homeland. Fast-forward to 2017 and the stage is set for a new global audience to appreciate the distinct sound of KB.
