OUGD603 / UP YER SLEEVE! / Good Name - William Onyeabor

Due to a number of circumstances, there will no longer be a physical exhibition for 'Up Yer Sleeve'. 

Instead, we have to submit the work digitally, to allow the show to go on in some form or another. The exhibition will be curated using an online platform.

The track I was allocated was Good Name by William Onyeabor. I have been doing some research:












'William Onyeabor was a Nigerian funk musician and businessman. Onyeabor's songs are often heavily rhythmic and synthesized, occasionally epic in scope, with lyrics decrying war and sung by both Onyeabor himself and female backing vocalists.'
