Happiness / Nwanne, Nwanne, Nwanne brings together the powerful talents of Nigerian percussionist Aleke Kanonu and Alabama soul legend OC Tolbert, resulting in a dynamic fusion of Electronic, Jazz, Latin, Soul, and Funk. Originally released in 1982 and reissued by PMG in 2016, this collaboration became a sought-after gem in the New York scene, captivating both shops and DJs with its unique cross-continental energy.
The A-side, "Happiness," showcases Tolbert's gravelly, expressive vocals in a soulful Gospel ballad brimming with heartfelt emotion, while the B-side, "Nwanne, Nwanne, Nwanne," explodes with Afrobeat disco rhythms, driven by Kanonu's impressive percussion. This album stands out for its genre-blending artistry and the rare synergy between two acclaimed musicians, making it a noteworthy addition for fans of global grooves and soulful innovation.
