William Onyeabor - Great Lover In Stock are masters of the boleroHave you guys been checking out the different Onyeabor covers? It always seems he was playing a role with each one. As someone who never wanted to talk about himself, even back when he made these albums perhaps that was a way for him to further obscure who he really was. As we have said before, though we do talk to him almost every week, we never get the impression that his aversion to talking about his music making days has changed much. Enjoy.
