African musicians in Norway - Abuwa. Afro Portrait CD

Oslo-based singer “ABUWA” has now release his long awaited CD 'Afro Portrait' with eight tracks. For world music lovers, Abuwa's CD is worth listening to. It is afrobeat from Nigeria, evoking memories of Fela Kuti in the 70s but still very much Abuwa in its personality and style. Folklore and the contemporary are well mixed to make this a powerful and moving record.

Abuwa and his band “Shekere” are eager to begin their nationwide tour of Norway. Accompanying him are talented and wonderful musicians from the four corners of the African sub-continent and Norway. Abuwa will also be performing alongside some international world music stars like Aida Nadeem from Iraq nominated for BBC world music awards 2006, and many others at this years “Minorlinks 2008”, at BLÅ in Oslo, 16.August.

Abuwa is a singer you will be hearing about in 2008 and many years to come.

Abuwa's 'Afro Portrait' is produced by Jock Loveband and Abuwa for Ebony Records/Urban Sound.
