Francis Bebey: Born 1929 in Cameroun,
Radio journalist, UNESCO employee,
prize-winning novelist, music
historian and pioneering African
electronic musician and
multi-instrumentalist. AND THOSE ARE
JUST THE CLIFFNOTES.
The kind of guy who couldn╞t contain
his glee at finally being able to play
every single sound in a song himself,
between 1975 and 1982, Bebey made some
very cool electronica rooted music.
Folding Sanza Finger piano, flute,
keyboards, guitar and voice into the
mix, his juxtapositions between played
instruments, drum machines and
synthesiser riffs/soloing are out of
this world. Well, as out of this world
as music rooted in the cradle of
mankind can be.
