African Head Charge are a psychedelic dub ensemble active since the early 1980s. Combining the talents of former Creation Rebel percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and producer Adrian Sherwood, the band initially came into being as a studio-based operation with a shifting cast of members drawn from the pool of musicians working on projects for Sherwood’s On-U Sound label. In a 2011 interview with The Quietus website, Sherwood recalled the original inspiration behind AHC:

Combining the talents of former Creation Rebel percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and producer Adrian Sherwood, the band initially came into being as a studio-based operation with a shifting cast of members drawn from the pool of musicians working on projects for Sherwood’s On-U Sound label. In a 2011 interview with The Quietus website, Sherwood recalled the original inspiration behind AHC: File:Ahc.jpg "I read an interview in a newspaper where Brian Eno talked about [how] he’d made an album called “My Life In the Bush Of Ghosts” with another musician - that Talking Heads fellow [David Byrne] - and he said “I had a vision of a psychedelic Africa”. And I thought, “Oh, that’s pretentious.” But then I thought about it, and thought 'No, what a good idea! Make really trippy African dub'. … So I entered that area and I used Bonjo, who’d been in Creation Rebel and is a great percussionist. I built the thing around his percussion playing and the idea of making some really spaced out African dub."[1] Debut LP “My Life In A Hole In The Ground” appeared on On-U Sound in 1981, followed by a string of African Head Charge albums on the label over the next decade, all produced by Sherwood. The band also developed into a live outfit, fronted by Bonjo I. After the percussionist relocated to Ghana in the mid-1990s, however, he started to work with other labels and his core AHC partnership with Sherwood was not renewed until the 2005 album “Vision Of A Psychedelic Africa”.
