Hypertension captures the groundbreaking vision of Nigerian artist William Onyeabor, known for his pioneering blend of electronic music, soul, and funk. Released by Luaka Bop in 2015, this album showcases Onyeabor's signature style—hypnotic rhythms, catchy synth lines, and insightful social commentary—with a sound that remains fresh and innovative decades after its original 1982 debut.
Recognized for its unique place in Onyeabor's discography, Hypertension stands apart as the only album not featured on the well-known "Who Is William Onyeabor?" compilation. With its enduring grooves and thought-provoking themes, this release is an essential listen for fans of boundary-pushing funk and African electronic music.
