Press Release:

Wunmi

When a New York style and culture magazine describes you simply as being "incredible,'' you know you must be doing something right. And Wunmi the, London-raised, New York-based singer/dancer/performer/designer, is certainly worthy of Paper magazine's write-up, regularly setting the dance-music underground alight with her commanding live performances and her strong Afrobeat dance records. Under the nurturing guidance of ZG Management, she collaborated with A Guy Called Gerald for the remix of her debut single, "What I See," which has graced several compilation albums, among them, the TerraMusica: Global Explorer II (Zip Dog). And this April, she releases a new single, "Ekabo." (MAW) It's her second cross-cultural collabo-ration with Latin producers Masters at Work; the first being 1999's still popu-lar, body-moving "Tribute to Fela." Her prodigious all around talent lead Wunmi to work with such artists as U.K. soul outfit Soul to Soul, jazzeteer Ornette Coleman and original keybs man Roy Ayers. Right now, though, with the increasing influence of African rhythms on club music, there's no mistak-ing that the time for Wunmi is fast approaching. And her forthcoming album-on which acclaimed DJs/producers such as Masters at Work, A Guy Called Gerald, Roy Ayres, Gilb'r and Spinna, among others, provide rhythms-looks set to put her out in front. People, get ready!

Comments:

Wunmi is an ex singer of Soul-II-Soul (the people that bought you the hit 'Back To Life' also featuring Jazzy-B).

The mix, although initially released on this single, and available on the old (now defunct) Gerald web site at Cosmos, was subsequently released on a compilation album called 'Terra Musica: Global Explorer II' on Zip Dog Records.

"New York-based Wunmi, an ex-Soul II Soul dancer who has been working with big-name collaborators such as Louie Vega - her new single is presented here in its A Guy Called Gerald mix".

The CD single is now extremely difficult to find. The white label 12", bizarrely enough, seems to be easier to find than the normal CD single!

Wunmi has an official site here (https://www.wunmi.com/), which includes a discography, mentioning the single.
