Search - Mr Something Something & Ikwunga The Afrobeat Poet :: Deep Sleep

Deep Sleep, the second album from the first afrobeat poet and originator of afrobeat poetry, Nigerian afrobeat poet (aka Abp) Ikwunga, is a collection of highly danceable tracks infused with a fine collection of African proverbs and words of wisdom delivered in Ikwunga s original amalgamation of Pidgin and English, in rhyme. What s exciting about this new album is that Abp Ikwunga has teamed up with the phenomenal Canadian Afrobeat collective Mr. Something Something. This would be a third album for Mr. Something Something, a highly electrifying and socially conscious band whose sophomore album The Edge was nominated for a 2007 JUNO Award for World Music Album of the Year. Since it s release on November 1st 2007, the title track, Deep Sleep had enjoyed a distinguished number 1 position on the two top world music charts in Canada, for 4 straight weeks...and was officially recognized as the #1 World Music Album of 2007 on the Earshot International Chart. Not bad for an album that was released in October.
