Mr Bongo

British vocalist, musician, and artist Labi Siffre was born on 25 June 1945 in Hammersmith, London, England. Raised in London by his English mother and Nigerian father, Siffre pursued music full-time after working various jobs. He gained recognition with solo hits like "It Must Be Love" and "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying". Although he had a break from the charts in the 1970s, Siffre made a triumphant comeback with "(Something Inside) So Strong" in 1987.

Siffre's work has been rediscovered by a new generation thanks to Eminem sampling his song "I Got The" from the album "Remember My Song". Nowadays, he dedicates much of his time to writing poetry that tackles topics such as gay rights and global issues.

If you enjoy artists like Minnie Riperton or Curtis Mayfield, you'll appreciate Labi Siffre's soulful sound. His music is influenced by various genres including funk and jazz.

Mr Bongo is a British label that was founded in 1989. Originally located in a small record shop of the same name, it later moved to various locations in Soho and Shibuya, Japan. In 1999, the label's office was relocated to Brighton and its London & Shibuya shops were closed in 2003. However, a new shop was opened in Brighton in 2016. Since 2004, Mr Bongo has expanded into the world of cinema and also has a publishing division that produces and licenses music for third parties.
The label's rich history and diverse range of music make it an influential player in the industry. With its extensive catalog and commitment to quality, Mr Bongo continues to be at the forefront of discovering new talent and delivering exceptional music experiences.
