Album Notes

New CD Single from Kwabena Nip
Kwabena Nip (the name means "born on a Tuesday") will be releasing a double A sided single "FREEMAN / COMING HOME" from his forthcoming album "ANCESTRORAL VESSEL" on 16 th April.

This will coincide with the 200th Anniversary of the Emancipation of Slavery and he has invited No1 selling artist Diane Charlemagne(ex vocalist with Moby, Goldie and Urban Cookie) to do guest vocals on the Gospel-tinged track "COMING HOME" which will surely appeal to all who are physically or spiritually oppresssed. ( - its also a top tune.).

The soul searching and soul bearing lyrics of "FREEMAN" also reveal a man on a mission.Kwabena is the spearhead behind the campaign for forgiveness and moving on positively together at this time of rememberance of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the lyrics to his songs explain.

In addition, he will be launching a series of Key Media Events and concerts throughout the UK - kicking off with a joint headlining concert at Manchester University on May 10th, with the Radical Jamaican Poet and Artist Linton Kwesi Johnson.

And as Kwabena is being acknowledged more and more in the press as a natural born leader, advocator of peace,unity, spirituality and forgiveness, he says "Its time to acknowledge the past and then let it go, and move on positively together in spiritual growth and harmony."

Over the last few years he has shared the stage with the likes of MOHAMMED YOUSSEF, LUCIANO, MISTY IN ROOTS, MORGAN HERITAGE and SUGAR MINOTT, and has delighted festival audiences from Zurich to Gambia whilst performing with Tippa Irie,Horace Andy ,Freddie McGregor, General Levi,Macka B,Twinkle Brothers, Frankie Paul ,Beverley Knight ,China Black, Basil Otis & Mystics, Levi Roots, Audio Web, AND MANY OTHERS...

"If you like Bob Marley You'll Love Kwabena."
