My Musical Journey

Guitarist,  composer/songwriter, producer and retired bandleader with long held vision of fusing the energy, musical depth, attitude and vitality of African and other tropical style guitar dance music with a mix of English lyrics and a more mainstream approach to song structure and presentation, with the intention of producing dance and other music with mass market cross-generational appeal.

What's special about these songs?

Grand Zaiko Bayaka title track from the album Ba Penses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uWZOtWmB3c

I picked up up this album sometime in the late 1980’s. It is a wonderful record, notwithstanding the programmed drums.

Manuako on lead guitar

Another fantastic album i picked up in the late 1980, although mine has different cover. Shame about the skips in this vinyl rip though. I even had the start  as my phone ringtone for ages.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwAwOckyNho
