Inemo

Inemo Samiama is from the Niger Delta of Nigerian and represents a new generation of African musicians currently coming out of the continent. From his earliest years he was shaped and influenced by music and his father, a guitarist, taught him to play. At the age of 18 he formed a professional group with a friend, the well known Nigerian musician Majek Fashek. The group was called Jah Stix.

He travelled to Paris in the early eighties, where he played with artists like Rido Bayone, Ray Lema and Tony Allen (former drummer of Fela Kuti). Inemo was then signed by Mercury/Universal for his debut album "Bushman" (distributed by Polygram) which mixed African melodies with techno, hip-hop, jungle, dub and ambient sounds. Mercury/Universal also released his second album "Mr Bushman - Are You Remixed" which included remixes of the first album and some new tracks (again distributed by Polygram).

Following the huge success of both albums on the continent, he was nominated for an RFI (Radio France Industry) Music Award as Best World Music Artist.

Inemo is a versatile and prolific composer, and has released many albums with differrent flavours ranging from Afrobeat, Reggae, electro African fusions and others that cannot be placed in to any specific musical style or category. In all his works, there are certain qualities that shines through,, Inemo is a fantastic melodies and singer. Catch Inemo on my space at

Inemo - African Vibrations

Soukous, highlife,Afrobeat and many more. A great selection of rythms and melodies from the whole of Africa. A fantastic buy for those who want to discover the various musical styles from the African continent.

Inemo - Remixed

Electronic Afro fusion beats. Featuring Drum and Bass remixes by Tim bran(Dreadzone) and many other wicked remixes. Plus some bonus new tracks. This cuts across all the boundaries. Pure club sounds.

Inemo - Bushman

This is not a remixed album. Original Afro electronic fusion from Inemo. Clash of sounds between the machines,kora, accordion, acoustic guitars and nice African melodies. Unexpected, surprising and even shocking album from the master fusionist. Not suitable for purists.

Reggae and Dub tracks. Some in English, others in Ijaw language from the Niger Delta. For all lovers of Reggae music. Pump up the bassssss.
