Story

Fantastic Man celebrates Nigerian synth pioneer William Onyeabor. He released nine albums in just eight years in the 70s and 80s, but was only discovered internationally in the early 2000s.

Who is William Onyeabor? was Time Magazine’s fourth best album of 2013 and Pitchfork’s best reissue of the year.

Interviewees include Damon Albarn, Femi Kuti and Caribou.

“A fascinating watch with an unbelievable soundtrack.”
