Aleke Kanonu - N'Gwode & Mother's Day
N'Gwode (1980)
An extremely rare afro-beat/funk album featuring Wilbur Bascomb on bass. Before recording his self-titled album, Aleke performed with Stanley Cowell and recorded on his '75 Strata-East release, "Regeneration." No other information seems to be obtainable about his musical output or his current location - his one and only album release; all the tracks are heat.
Mother's Day (1980)
A beautiful and sparse percussion track with pidgin mutterings and lush piano chords.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I found your blog via WFMU's Beware of the Blogs, and I am so grateful that I found you. I was wondering if you would like to exchange links with me.
I have a blog called Eclectic Grooves that features a diverse selection of music that ranges from jazz to afro-beat, and from blues to psych, and from electronic to folk.
Please let me know if youd like to exchange links with me.
Best, Kevin

Wilbur Bascomb is the author of my vote for Song with All-Time Least Subtle Title: "Head for Backstage Pass," from Jeff Beck's Wired.
