Island Monkey is the latest incarnation of singer-songwriter Arthur Vaughan Richards. Island Monkey music can best be defined through the term, "orishirishi" which means "all sorts of" in the language of the Yoruba of Nigeria.
Arthur's personal spanning of Nigerian and British societies has always served as the basis for mixing "all sorts of" influences. This mixing is augmented through collaborating with talented musicians from various styles and countries. And Island Monkey live performances showcase the energies released in these collaborations.
The latest volume of Island Monkey music is being cultivated in the foothills of Majorca with the aid of a solar-powered studio and what you see and hear here are some of the first results.
I hope today finds you working & playing your way toward a great week!
