William Onyeabor Box Sets

Much of Onyeabor’s identity remains a mystery, but crate-diggers have been fans for years, and 2013 saw Luaka Bop finally bring his songs to the (curious) masses.

Luaka Bop has now amassed and released two limited edition box sets filled with all his tunes for the ultimate fan.
