Ndidi Onukwulu

QA  - From Amazon: Ndidi (pronounced In-DEE-dee On-OOK-whoo-loo) is brings together a repertoire containing traditional blues, original songs combined with smoking Malagasy guitar work by the duet of Madagascar Slim and Donne Roberts. Ndidi&amp;#x27;s vocals are sultry and bring to mind the great singers of the fifties. Born in British Columbia, she grew up listening to her Nigerian-born father play drums. This influence fuses the contemporary rhythms of Africa to the Blues. Ndidi is an eclectic performer whose international future looks very bright.

Call Me Queen

QA - Release country is Canada. Label- Universal I.S. Recorded in six days at Black Box - &quot;a studio near Angers where we could all live and vibrate together&quot;- during sessions that produced seventeen songs in total, twelve of which are featured here This album benefits from the presence of Craig Street in the cabin. &quot;He was very enthusiastic about the project right from the beginning. He listened to my ideas and helped me explore all my abilities.&quot; Street has benefited other voices (Cassandra Wilson, Norah Jones...) He and Ndidi brought together a team equal to the situation, all of them with references that speak for themselves: The foundation is provided by bassist&#x2F;guitarist Chris Bruce (Robbie Williams, Bob Dylan), guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), and drummer&#x2F;percussionist Earl Harvin (Seal)

Escape

QA from Amazon. On her debut No, I Never, Ndidi Onukwulu proved she can wrap her silky voice around anything from country blues to her own rootsy salon sound. Now we have The Contradictor, all about focus, training that formidable silk edge on everyones private pain, and contradicting the anguish with a full, upbeat, resonance. The Contradictor is personal and universal, built on Ndidis songwriting mining the extremes of intimacy, with the bigger sounds and tones she is most interested in uncovering. These are songs of heartache, heartbreak, and longing. Not nice, as she says, but as full as these can be. And as rich. Joining Ndidi on the CD is a fearsome roster of world-class players including Jesse Zubot (strings&#x2F;mandolin), Paul Pigat (guitars), Steve Dawson (guitars), Roey Shemesh (bass), Barry Mirochnick (drums) and Tyson Naylor ( keyboards). Dawson produced the CD with Zubot producing some of the tracks.
