Another landmark Real World record from 1990, Exile informed the world of the struggles of Ugandan singer-songwriter Geoffrey Oryema. Exiled at a young age after the suspicious death of his government minister father, Geoffrey’s songs are a resilient riposte to a life forced upon him, as well as an unconfined celebration of the culture of his homeland. A statement of poise, gravity and elegance, Exile merges both the personal and the political, all narrated by that gently persuasive voice. Contributors include Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno. “ Geoffrey is a really gifted artist and he has a fantastic voice. His heart, his life, his soul, were in his songs and so he did have to trust us. Exile is a lovely record. ” Peter Gabriel “A quietly startling record, best heard way past midnight when a troubled world seems to offer no quarter” – Entertainment Weekly
