Nuwamba, whose name means November in the Nigerian language Hausa, is an extraordinarily innovative singer and songwriter of great depth and passion. His heart-crafted songs touch on a multiplicity of issues often overlooked by the modern music world and offers listeners an acoustic picture of life, love and the prospects of liberation from lifes challenges.
An irresistible, soul-filled artist brings a serious culture and feel-good vibe, Nuwamba composes music to enrich the souls of mankind. His parlayed and southern style is inviting and enigmatic. His music is an eclectic combination of soul, funk, reggae and a host of other underground sounds. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Nuwamba exhibited an affinity with a wide range of music from an early age, which is palpable on his debut disc Above the Water. The album is a reflection of my life. Its about my struggles, my mistakes, my drama, trying to make my dreams happen and keeping it real. As a young brother in todays society, Ive had to go through a lot of adversity to maintain and stay afloat. In order to survive, youve got to keep your head above water.
