brunk - none of the above [WM080]
'none of the above', the follow-up to ' sept 2003 ', is a further exploration of the melancholic and more accessible side of brunk. It has a quiet vibe and mostly slow songs.

"Vintage Afrobeat from the man who used to open shows for the main man. A mainstay (on guitar and keyboards) of Fela Kuti's Egypt 80 in the 1980s, Keji Hamilton can't be accused of falling too far from the tree musically in the decade since his employer's death.
