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.

Press review from: Piccadilly Records (UK)

En Mana Kuoyo has a haunting, spiritual quality that is reflective, intimate, introspective and demonstrates an extraordinary sensitivity to dynamics.

Press review from: Folk Roots (UK)

..a fine debut.

July 1993

Press review from: Q Magazine (UK)

..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.
