Drawing from and heavily influenced by the big commercial hook of USA booty crunk but married to their long running dedication to Fela Kuti, Abamieda the Enigmatic hooks up with female vocalist African Baby and Bigi Nyashito to bring us 'Making Me Laugh'; an unlikely but irresistible concoction of township lyricism, US blaxploitation and African politics.
Currently recording their debut LP between Accra, Ghana and Amsterdam, Holland.

"Enigmatic is inspired by Fela Kuti's Pan African musical philosophy and politics. Fela Kuti is one in a long line of African Griot tradition and the movement continues. Long Live Kalakuta."
