Exile

Description

Peter Gabriel was not mistaken in offering this Ugandan musician, who had fled Idi Amin's regime to find refuge in France and was then unknown, the opportunity to record the true gem that is the album *Exile*. Through a clever combination of traditional Central African instruments such as the harp and thumb piano, touches of synth contributed by Brian Eno, and above all, a powerful and deep voice reminiscent of his Senegalese alter ego Wasis Diop or even a young Leonard Cohen, GEOFFREY ORYEMA transports us to an unprecedented musical world from which we will never escape... For fans of: Ayub Ogada // Habib Koité // Cheikh Lô
