William Onyeabor was a visionary Nigerian musician whose hypnotic blend of electronic funk, soul, and Afrobeat made him one of the most singular voices to emerge from the African music scene. Originally recorded in 1980, Body & Soul showcases Onyeabor's self-produced, synthesizer-driven sound — a style that was remarkably ahead of its time and has since captivated listeners and music lovers around the world.
Reissued by the acclaimed world music label Luaka Bop, Body & Soul brings Onyeabor's deeply soulful and rhythmically infectious music to a new generation of listeners. Featuring standout tracks like the title track and "The Way To Win Your Love," the album is a testament to Onyeabor's unique creative vision, blending spiritual themes with irresistible grooves that feel just as vital today as when they were first laid down.
