about

Celebrating the first 25 years of my ongoing love affair with the centuries old Nigerian Side Hole Pot Drum known worldwide as Udu, I could not think of a better way then to put together an enhanced compilation cd and entitle it with my pen name "uduboy".

There are 12 selections listed below. 5 of which are included in this EP as noted and a movie including timeline of my involvement with the udu drum up to the release date of this cd, video clips and photos of friends along the way. Here is a link to the movie on youtube: youtu.be/Dye4wdz0nPk

Excluding the first track of this recording which is a solo piece that I created entitled "Udu ClayPLAY", the balance of the work represented is due to several artists that I have had the privilege to record for and with over the years granted me a master usage licences to include their music as it was originally recorded on my "uduboy" release. By doing this it highlights the many diverse ways that I have been able to use the udu in showcasing and bringing to light the many facets and personalities of this incredible centuries old instrument. Was blessed beyond words to have had each and everyone of them grant me full permission to use their music. With respect to their music and digital download formats I encourage you to visit each of these incredibly talented artist to purchase the electronic download of their song. The permission that I retained from each of them with a few exceptions only covers the physical release of the cd not the electrionic downloads.

With Respect to Digital Downloads this is only offered as a 5 song EP

The song list as it appears on the physical cd is the following with links to individual artists links for you to visit if interested in listening and downloading their song. Thank you for understanding, for your interest and for your support. I am honored that you are interested in our work.
