about

Olumuyiwa Kunnuji aka Muyiwa was a trumpet player for Fela's Egypt 80 and more recenly for Seun Kuti's Egypt 80 band. He started a new project last year called Osemako, for which he composed and started recording some tracks in Lagos, Nigeria, and Nîmes, France, and then went to Grant Phabao to do the mixing. Tony Allen played drums on the first track Osemako released last year, on Paris DJs 'Dis Is Good For You' compilation. This second offering, available exclusively on this 3rd volume of the 'Tropical Grooves & Afrofunk International' series, achieves to prove that the butterfly is now out of the cocoon... and flying high in a new and different direction, presenting original African music in-between Afrobeat, Highlife and Jive… Tout ira bien, avec le temps!


About Osemako :
Osemako is the band led by Muyiwa Kunnuji, the last trumpet player for Fela Kuti, father of Afrobeat. After more than 15 years with Egypt 80's, Muyiwa decided to create his own band: Osemako, for which he composes, does the arrangements, sings and plays the trumpet. His compositions are the image of his rich musical culture. If the basics of his music is Afrobeat, Highlife, Juju and even South African Jive are also part of his vocabulary, his musical tongue, which he prefers to call "Afro Classical Beat". Osemako began when Muyiwa Kunnuji encountered 8 musicians from different musical backgrounds. All are orientated towards the modern music of Black Atlantic mentioned above and fully express themselves in the opulence and originality of Muyiwa's compositions and arrangements.
