Last week loveshaq introduced us to Dr Ring-Ding, a German artist performing reggae, ska and dancehall. Well, I have another European doctor for you! Dr. Alban. He is a Swedish artist (born in Nigeria) performing Eurodance and reggae in a dancehall style. Here’s his 1992 Eurodance/Pop-Rap/Euroreggae hit (and biggest hit) ‘It’s My Life’:
Thank you for your continued support of Deadsplinter!
Thanks for the shout out! This is some really cool stuff I have never heard of, always love finding a new(to me) artist.
Firewater – This is my Life
I LOVE this raw live version and hope you do to.
Thank you, Deadsplinter. I finally signed up to star y’all and stayed some more for the DU!AN
How can someone not like that? It’s so good.
Agree, but everyone’s allowed their thing……
DUAN gave me a chance to post TWO Ms. Simone’s two days in a row so I’m ahead – not to mention exposure to some great music here. 🙂
Welcome to the Deadsplinter community! Happy to have you!
Awe… Thanks!
What myo said, welcome!
Much appreciated!
The Tubes – What Do You Want from Life
I saw the Tubes in a cavernous underground club & my buddy went to the restroom & ran into Fee Waybill in a hallway. He says “do you know how I get to the stage?” My buddy shakes his head & Fee goes off muttering to himself. Great show once he found stage.
I had no idea Nigeria had such a wealth of good music, Since Shaq, and Ellie have posted other artists I’ve been looking for other stuff. Thanks DUAN! I found this a few days ago.
The Lijadu Sisters – Life Is Gone Down Low
Thank you kindly.
He went to Sweden, when he was 23, to study dentistry. To finance his studies he started working as a DJ and used to sing reggae-style over the records he spun. But even after he graduated and opened his dentistry practice. he continued to work as a DJ. Well, he got noticed, got signed, and the rest is history! Here are 2 more songs from him:
Sing Hallelujah!
Look Who´s Talking
I love Afro Beat from all over Africa. This guy was one of my gateway drugs…
The Animals – It’s My Life
hey! if we are going to name drop, i’ma say that there is a Bon Jovi song for this just in case Emmers shows up…consider it a challenge!
I think we’re prohibited from posting Bon Jovi songs. That’s Emmer’s domain. You have to go on exile now!
Well. that was shortlived!
Thanks for havin’ my back, Myo, ‘cuz YEP! That one definitely needs to be here😉
Not Afrobeat,
But an oldie I love that’s fun:
And showing some love for the other coast, too;
And since I’m feelin’ love for my local folks, this classic;
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone.
