Inemo Samiama is a Nigerian who describes himself as a representative of a new generation of African musicians. His Nigerian childhood was a musical journey from choirs to African rhythms. From his earliest years Inemo was shaped and influenced by music, his father was a guitarist and taught him to play. But it was at the age 18 that he formed a professional group with a friend, well known Nigerian musician Majek Fashek. The group was called Jah Stix.

Inemo came to Paris by chance in the early eighties, at the time when most English speakers were going to London or New York . He started playing with artists like Rido Bayone, Ray Lema and Tony Allen (former drummer of Fela Kuti). But Inemo had his own music in his head and decided to work alone, and since he had the good fortune to meet Phillippe Constantin, (sadly no longer with us) who was always driven by new ideas, Inemo was signed to Mercury/Universal for his debut album release "Bushman". An album for which the label had great expectations, because it consists quite simply, and without any pretension, of all that a man from the bush who lives in today's modern world can show us.

After experimenting and fusing primitive resonances, ancestral melodies and traditional instruments with Pop rhythms, techno beats and drum & Bass, Inemo has decided to go back to his roots. After 3 years of composing, recording and traveling between London, Paris and Africa, Inemo is here with his new ten track album of authentic Afrobeat called "Afro funky Beats." Inemo is on the way to proving to us that music can once again reinvent and enrich itself with wonderful new sounds, just like Fela Kuti, Salif Keita and Angelique Kidjo have done before him.
