"When Nabay self-proclaims himself "Bubu King," it's truth" - Pitchfork
"This guy’s a fucking phenomenon, bordering on genius, and you should go see him and his clearly inexhaustible Bubu Gang perform any and every chance you get." - Vice
"There is the pre-Janka era, when bubu was played by five tribes in the country's north and could only be heard on one holy day a year, during Ramadan. But in the post-Janka landscape, young people from Sierra Leone to Liberia are jamming bubu bangers in the club every weekend." - The Fader
"There was also an African apparition: Janka Nabay from Sierra Leone, wearing a straw skirt and singing and dancing to recorded tracks of what he said was a 500-year-old tradition called bubu music. The tracks were modern, and the beat, fast and skeletal and driven by bell taps, was unstoppable, demanding wider dissemination." - Jon Pareles, New York Times

This is Genius! It sounds like Suicide (Alan Vega & Martin Rev) goes to Sierra Leone. I've been waiting for this music to happen! Thanks you!
