Norberto de Nöah – Norberto de Nöah and The Böhöbé Spirits Müsic – LP

Canela en Surco and Urpa i musell feel very fortunate to announce the first ever reissue of “Norberto de Nöah and The Böhöbé Spirits Müsic” by Norberto de Nöah, originally released on Kilimandjaro Productions in 1988.

In the album he exposed his deepest roots, updating the lexicon of traditional Bubi music, the musician’s ethnic group, a compendium of ceremonial melodies that ancient troubadours composed for the court. Doing so he showed new possibilities to one of the oldest ethnic groups in the world. Besides all this, he was also inspired by American music such as funk, R&B, Latin American music and also by a wide range of African and Caribbean rhythms.

“Norberto de Nöah and The Böhöbé Spirits Müsic“, as every important music piece, was at the same time part of a universal phenomenon of recognition of African music and a very personal project, based on the artist’s nostalgic and heartfelt need to show and homage his ethnic group, the Bubis. In this process he also refreshed his hometown music legacy, giving it a new air and opening the door to lots of other great Equatoguinean artists coming afterwards, as well as being an inspiration for many musicians in Spain.
