Who Is William Onyeabor – Fantastic Man Documentary
I know I’ve been slacking, or how else could I have missed this ridiculously brilliant documentary from the Noisey Vice Website.
If like me and you have a love for music, digging records and get a good buzz from a good story then this documentary film is for you. In the line of the superb Searching For Sugar Man. This short but very sweet 30 minute film is a real delight.
Well that picture is going to make you want to watch it! A cool looking Nigerian wearing a cowboy hat with a feather in his studio filled with a crazy amount of synthesizers.
Making African disco music fueled with funk, folk and a heap of crazy sounds. Add to that a fair few mystery stories and you have yourself a very interesting piece of entertainment.
Check it out, it’s ace.
