      Mary Afi Usuah trained as an a opera singer at the prestigious St Cecilia Academy in Rome and spent 13 years touring Europe with artists like Duke Ellington and Deep Purple. She matched vocal chops with Robert Plant performing with Led Zeppelin and blew away the top names on the Lagos scene when she returned to Nigeria. 'African Woman' marshals these experiences into an exceptionally powerful and diverse album.  Mary takes everything she learned on the road to tell her story about her continent in a distinctly African manner. The boys from Akwassa were on hand to ensure that everything was kept extra tight and funky. Mary AfiUsuah only released two albums but she is undeniably one of the greatest female singers the African continent has produced.

      Highly Recommended!!!
