Mythical soul/boogie record recorded in Louisiana by Nigerian multi instrumentalist Rick Asikpo when he was studying in Houston.

Rick Asikpo started his musical career while studying in Houston, joining local Black Artist collective The People’s Workshop, before returning to Nigeria and releasing a run of successful albums throughout the 80's.
“Got To Be Me” was recorded at River City Studio in Baton Rouge in 1981 but was only released back in Nigeria.
Layers of synths wash over Earth, Wind and Fire inspired boogie and soul, shot through a Texan/Nigerian filter that stands as a missing link between the dancefloor experiments of Houston and Lagos.
