The soul album named as one of the 2011's best for world music.
The Boston Globe recently listed Bez’ “Super
Sun” as number three World music’s top music albums of 2011. The album
was only beaten by Susana Baca and Mamani Keita’s work.
Boston Globe wrote: “Super Sun’’, A superb alternative-soul singer who happens to come from Nigeria – and a male counterpart to that country’s new songstresses such as Asa, Nneka and Ayo. Watch for Bez to emerge in the United States in 2012, starting with a visit to SXSW in March.
Also listed was DJ JamJam, DJ JAMJAM – “Oyinbo Swagga Vol. 2’’ (mixtape, available online) Nigeria is a rich new frontier for hip-hop and R&B, plenty of it hyper-commercial; many current top stars (P-Square, M.I., Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and more) appear on this chock-full mix by a London DJ. Not all the music is great, but the crash-course immersion is frenetic and vital.
