Hey, welcome to the black auralities podcast! Where I, Wilton, discuss music, history, politics, philosophy, and the humanities more generally. Thanks for being here. In this episode I discuss William Onyeabor, one of the greatest musicians to come out of Nigeria in the 1970s and 80s. I highlight some of the context surrounding Onyeabor, the end of colonialism in Nigeria, the Cold War, and his work in helping us have a more expansive understanding of blackness in the world.

Here are a couple of worthwhile links to follow, and as always please subscribe to my patreon. I really want to make this a listener funded project.
