Reviews
Ayub Ogada : En Mana Kuoyo - CD £7.99
One of the finest albums in the entire Real World label's back catalogue, Ayub Ogada's "En Mana Kuoyo" is a deceptively simple set of tracks that somehow linger in the memory long after the last note has faded. He's got a fine voice and the sparse instrumentation provides a perfect backdrop allowing the melodies and invention to shine through. Highly recommended.
En Mana Kuoyo has a haunting, spiritual quality that is reflective, intimate, introspective and demonstrates an extraordinary sensitivity to dynamics.
November 1993
..a fine debut.
July 1993
..the finest songs are slow melodic ballads...or relaxed lilting pieces...that show off both the instrument’s delicacy and Ogada’s thoughtful, intimate and soulful vocals.
