LA Salami: Momentum
Lookman Adekunle Salami, who performs under the abbreviated name L.A. Salami, is an all-round artist and philosopher, know for creating magnetic post-modern blues.
His love for music began when he first heard Bob Dylan on the radio, subsequently leading him to explore more blues and folk music and inspiring him to write his own songs; unfortunately, however, he could not afford his own instrument and wasn’t introduced to one until he was given a guitar for his 21st birthday.
Over the course of three EPs and one album L.A. Salami has built up a loyal following around the world, with notable support at both US & UK radio from the likes of Bob Boilen and Lauren Laverne. His debut album, Dancing With Bad Grammar, was listed in NPR’s Top Ten Albums of 2016.
