Wunmi is an artist that effortlessly joins the dots between Nigeria’s Youruba and Afrobeat heritage, New York’s house pedigree and London’s jazz, broken beat and classic street soul sounds. Mentored by Roy Ayers, Wunmi is a cross between Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and dance music icon Grace Jones. Wunmi’s early recordings were as featured artist on the tracks of some of House music’s reigning producers. Masters at Work, Osunlade, Bugz in the Attic, Pasta Boys—through her reworks of Fela Kuti tracks ‘Expensive Sh*t’ and ‘Zombie’ Wunmi would become a major catalyst in bringing Afro beat and the work of Fela Kuti into the mainstream in America, contributing to such projects as Red Hot and Riot, and New York’s epic Jump n Funk parties. Wunmi toured much of the world on club dates with her newly garnered attention as a diva of underground house. .http://onepagelink.com/WUNMI/
