Who is William Onyeabor?

[Tonker]

Well, he's a Nigerian musician.  Anything more than that, though, is speculation.  Nobody knows when he was born (45 or 46 seems to be the consensus), he's never played live, and has almost never been interviewed or even, it seems, seen in public.  He's a High Chief, and owns and operates a flour mill.

He's also a funky, funky son of a bitch, I defy you to listen to this, and sit still.  Chuck Dickens, I'm looking at you - this should be right up your street.

The whole album ("Who is William Onyeabor?") is available here on Spotify.  And it's beautiful.

Or you can just watch the iPhone commercial with the barber shop and hear "Fantastic Man".
