Got to Be Me
Mythical soul/boogie record recorded in Louisiana by Nigerian multi instrumentalist Rick Asikpo when he was studying in Houston.
Artist: Rick Asikpo & Afro Fusion
Genre: African Jazz/Funk/Psych
Label: Soundway
Release date:
“Got To Be Me” was recorded at River City Studio in Baton Rouge in 1981 but was only released back in Nigeria. Layers of synths wash over Earth, Wind and Fire inspired boogie and soul, shot through a Texan/Nigerian filter that stands as a missing link between the dancefloor experiments of Houston and Lagos.
