Nkono Teles - Love Vibration

Nkono Teles - Love Vibration

The pioneer of West African electronic music was known for being tapped by
over 100 other musicians to produce or arrange their music, from King Sunny
Adé, Guy Lobe, even Steve Monite's album "Only You" and more. Having already
appeared on Soundway's best-selling compilation "Doing It In Lagos", here more
of Nkono's limited solo work is carefully remastered and reissued on vinyl for the
first time.

One of a small handful of pioneers of the Nigerian electronic music scene in the
1980s (alongside the likes of Jake Sollo & William Onyeabor), Teles was known
for being tapped by over 100 musicians to feature on, produce or arrange their
music. The list of '80s Nigerian records that his sound and style embellished is
seemingly endless: Steve Monite (he arranged and produced the music on the
Only You album recently re- issued by Soundway), Dizzy K, Peter Abdul, Odion
Iruoje, Steve Black, Rick Asikpo, Feladey, Charly Boy, Majek Fashek & Sonny
Okosuns, to name just a few, all engaged his enigmatic production and keyboard
services throughout the 1980s.

He became known as the first person in Nigeria to push the use of the drum machine
into popular music and created a unique and original boogie-funk sound combining
these new beats with guitars and an array of new and affordable synthesiser sounds
that started appearing in the early 1980s.
