We love documentaries, we hope you guys to and we found another interesting one. Noisey have created this full length documentary on a guy called William Onyeabor, a mysterious Nigerian synth-funk musician. A compilation of Onyeabor’s works, Who is William Onyeabor?, was released last year by Luaka Bop and gave little as to answer the question. This film, directed by Jake Sumner, tells the story of the labels attempt to track William down. interesting..

This documentary reminding us of  ”searching for sugarman” which is a documentary who tells the story about two Cape Town fans in the late 1990s, Stephen ‘Sugar’ Segerman and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, to find out whether the rumoured death of American musician Sixto Rodriguez was true, and, if not, to discover what had become of him. Rodriguez’s music, which never took off in the United States, had become wildly popular in South Africa, but little was known about him there. Also a must see.
