As I think I say on one of my earlier posts here, she seemed to be covering a lot of white singer/songwriters at the time. Seemed a bit strange for somebody so vocally into black power.


You could counter that with her eerie cover of Exuma's Dambala: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pDwH-S0KoU (I think she also made a tribute to him with Obeah Woman).

Exuma was relegated to the fringe of the fringes until quite recently, and yet Nina cottoned onto him straight away. I suspect she was one of those whimsical artistic espers who was so lacking in pretence that she exerted just as much creativity working with other people's material as her own. She'd have made an amazing DJ if she weren't such a capable musician.
